Since time immemorial, the traveling circus has captivated people and sparked their imagination. Vienna has a long and exciting circus history, which this book covers, ranging from the numerous circus companies in the Prater to the once-splendid circus buildings, and all the way to the performers, animals, and attractions in the Vienna City Hall. Robert Kaldy-Karo and Christoph Enzinger, who run the Vienna Circus and Clown Museum, regularly publish works on the history of entertainment arts. With more than 220 mostly unpublished photos and informative texts about Vienna's circus history, they illuminate the period from 1808 to 1964. They present numerous circuses that performed in Vienna, as well as Viennese institutions like the famous Circus Rebernigg. This book invites readers to reminisce about their own childhood and encourages rediscovery and laughter.
