CIRCUS LIFE is a vivid and authentic
picture of the once familiar but now fast disappearing world of the
circus. Here the characters are sometimes comic, sometimes sad, but
all are larger than life with extraordinary stories to tell. John
Allin's pictures show both the little known, behind-the-scenes life
of circus people as well as the glamour and excitement of the Big
Top. While painting these pictures, John Allin spent two years
living and travelling with Gerry Cottle's circus.
