This original and rare first edition 1974 Polish circus poster by Waldemar Swierzy is an absolute classic. The 1978 reprints are highly sought after, but this poster from the original 1974 print run is really special. The bear was often used as a symbol of the Communist state (the Russian bear). Here he is made to look big and grand, but also a little bit ridiculous next to his tiny bicycle. We love him very much.

Condition: Overall this poster is in amazing condition. You have to look very carefully to find flaws. It has the smallest possible wrinkles on the right hand side and a very tiny bit of pencil/lightening on the bottom left, along with another pencil stroke bottom right.
