CIRQUE - Poster Palmarium circus - The woman sawed in half, an inconceivable phenomenon Lithographic poster - Louis Galice 119 x 157 cm - not canvas-backed Folds and tears Note: This poster was apparently inspired by a surgical operation performed by A. Thesonnier and a number of his colleagues. A photograph of this operation exists in the Chantereau collection and is thought to have been used for the poster. On the poster, A. Thesonnier's staff have been replaced by politicians. From left to right: Doumergue, ...?..., Herriot, Poincaré, Barthou, ...?..., Flandin-en bas Cheron, Briand, Tardieu, ...?... This poster was used again by Finot for the Karma circus with a number of different politicians.
