[MONKEY THEATER] Affen Theater und Kunst-Reiterei des J. Bernhardt. Salzburg: Drud von J. Renl, ca. 1800. Horizontal wood-engraved poster bears seven images of apes presenting a wide range of circus tricks and feats, including dancing on a tight rope, riding horses, and dressed in the finery of the upper crust (including one scene with the monkeys at dinner). Text describes the tour of the company on the European continent and promises two performances each day at Bergerbrauer?s Beer Hall. 15 x 22 5/8?. A few tiny losses, old folds prominent, but bright and crisp. Very good.
