Description

This vintage circus advertisement features 'Jessie,' a performing monkey depicted in anthropomorphic style wearing a top hat, tailcoat, bow tie, and carrying a cane — rendered in detailed monochrome lithographic illustration. The bold hand-lettered text proclaims Jessie 'The Wonder-Monkey' and 'The Fenest Akrobat and Gymnast in the World,' presented by impresario A. Wilson. The warm cream background and dramatic poster typography are characteristic of late 19th-century European variety and circus show promotion.
