There is something nostalgic about the old circuses and their story. In many ways this is showed in “Freaks” but there are also other stories that perhaps could become a movie. For vintage circus lovers you can follow a page on Tumblr dedicated to circuses and their people, from unknown clowns to famous people who made their story during their lifetime and others who have transcended time.

Found this old German postcard on Ebay. I find it so realistic and detailed. It is sad that the postcard is not in very good condition if you see the original but never the less it is a great piece of art and the fact that it looks old gives to it a greater value for some collectors as well. I remark here the great realism and imagine that Herr Von Stroheim could perfectly have directed a scene like this one (there is one I remember where he appears in it in a silent movie, I think it’s Foolish Wives or Blind Husbands….) And coincidentally, this postcard is German. Von Stroheim was Austrian but had the perfect German allure during his Hollywood and French eras of great cinema.,
