Description
A vibrant late-19th-century circus advertisement showcasing daredevil performer Chas. H. Kabrich, billed as 'The Only Bike-Chute Aeronaut,' depicted in the center of a large hot-air balloon surrounded by acrobats descending on parachutes while riding bicycles through a bright sky. The bold typography at the top and bottom promotes his 'Novel and Thrilling Bicycle Parachute Act in Mid-Air,' capturing the sensational showmanship typical of American circus promotion in the 1880s. This chromolithograph poster exemplifies the era's colorful theatrical advertising, a genre in which the American Lithographic Company — one of the leading commercial print houses of the period — excelled.
