The original circus poster "Lion Standing on Its Hind Legs" by Hubert Hilscher, designed in 1970, exemplifies the mature language of the Polish School of Poster Art, instantly recognizable for its bold color palette, flowing lines, and expressively exaggerated forms. The central motif—a stylized lion in profile—features a dynamic, undulating mane and a body constructed from stripes of saturated purples, blues, oranges, greens, and magentas. The composition rests on a flat, vivid light green background, intensifying the contrast and allowing the figure’s colors to resonate fully. Thick black outlines emphasize rhythmic, flame-like movement, while the geometric "CYRK" lettering in the lower right corner evokes the typography of circus poster series from this era. Offset printed in B1 format (68 × 98 cm), the poster is preserved in very good condition—colors remain vibrant, with no visible damage or signs of restoration.This poster tells the story of a time when imagination flourished across the walls of Polish cities—the 1970s in graphic design were an era of freedom, humor, and visual daring. Hilscher’s lion balances the fierce energy of a predator with a whimsical, almost playful fantasy. The multicolored mane and the single round, red eye evoke the spirit of psychedelia and the atmosphere
