Humpty Dumpty Circus | A Joyful Big Top in Vintage Style
This original offset lithograph, printed in 1936, features a bustling toy circus in full swing—clowns, acrobats, a ballerina on horseback, a camel, and even an elephant. Rendered in soft, pastel tones with bold pops of color, this scene captures the imagination of early 20th-century childhood play. A rare piece by Renée Barnes, this lithograph brings lively charm to nurseries, playrooms, and vintage toy collections alike.
