After the advertising poster for Cirque d'Ete (Summer Circus), a Parisian equestrian theater, opera house, and circus located on Champs-Elysee from around 1841 until its closure in 1902. The original poster, designed by Jean Alcide Henri Boichard, did not feature any other text - as was typical of Boichard's work for the various Parisian circuses.
