Subject: Target: Circus posters
> Hello Everyone:
>
> I hope that everyone's year is off to a good start. My request is not for
> me, as I am still substitute teaching, but for a lesson I have been
> helping my husband with. At our state fair this year there was an
> incredible display of miniature circuses and old circus posters. He is an
> art teacher and wants his students to make their own circus posters. I
> have been searching and searching for visuals for this project so that
> students will have reference points - there are very few books it seems
> that have been written on the subject of circus posters, let alone with
> the images of those images contained inside. Does anyone have suggestions
> for really good books his librarian could order for next year or websites
> that I could use this year to help his students get a visual idea of what
> he is looking for??
>
> Thank you so much!
