About the Item
William P. Hicks has drawn everything about the circus that will fit in the plate. The main figure is an aerial act with a woman balancing on rope held by a figure on the floor. There are bears on bicycles and skates, dancing clowns in funny clothes, an elephant, and a tightrope walker with a pole.
The medium is etching of course, but there's also lots of use of aquatint. It is signed and titled in pencil. From an edition of 25 made for the NYC. There's a not very official label on the reverse.
