[Circus Hagenbeck] Carl Hagenbeck. Ein Name der die Welt umspannt

Friedländer, Hamburg, 1928. Several parts mounted together, total ca. 200 x 270 cm. Lith. no. 8303.

Some wear along folding lines and edges, partly reinf. or repaired on verso, mild toning. *The Hagenbeck family consisted of Carl and Wilhelm who initially both managed their own circus. Carl (Sr.) later became particularly known as the founder of the modern day zoos with more natural enclosures for the animals, but also for the 'human zoos' exhibiting 'purely natural' populations such as the Nubians.
