The original circus poster 'Cyrk 1883–1983' by Andrzej Pągowski was created in 1983 to mark the centenary of the Polish circus. This composition exemplifies the mature stage of the Polish Poster School of the 1980s, where painterly expression meets metaphor and subtle irony. At the center is a realistic portrait of a man—likely a circus director or impresario—wearing a tall, matte black top hat with a silvery vertical highlight and a loosely draped white scarf. The most distinctive details are the round, reflective glasses, which capture the dynamic, frontal images of a lion and a tiger; their aggressive stances contrast with the man's composed, restrained face. The background, painted in dramatic gradients of yellow, orange, and red, evokes the glow of stage lights and a sense of theatrical grandeur. Typography is minimal: the dates '1883–1983' and the word 'CYRK' appear in classic fonts that complement, rather than overpower, the visual narrative. The poster’s surface displays subtle painterly texture with visible brushstrokes. This piece is preserved in excellent condition, with vivid colors and crisp details, showing no signs of wear or restoration.The poster carries the
