Omnisport/Athletics/Circus. Nice original canvas poster: "Darby at the Summer Circus..." By Henri Gray (1858-1924). The English grasshopper. Jose Darby (1861-1937) was the unquestionable champion of the world (unofficial) of the long jump between 1882 and 1893. In circuses, cabarets, stadiums, he earned fortunes by jumping over chairs, billiards or other. He was equipped with small weights, which he unloaded at the right moment. His spectacular act made him famous all over the world, so much so that a museum is dedicated to him in his village of Dudley. This beautiful image due to the great Gray, reminds us with his two clowns (bonJeux Olympiquesur Zou), that it was always at the limit of the circus. Poster V.Palyart. BE. 123,5x82,5. Lithography. 1894.
