Hastings Printing Company Ltd. made eye-catching 1950s–60s circus and event posters. Their 1957 Lord George Sanger’s Circus poster shows a red-and-white striped big top, lions, and trapeze artists in Malvern Link. In 1963 they printed a bold Untitled poster with stacked sans-serif letters in mustard yellow on black. These everyday ephemera feel warmer than slick modern ads. Tap “Tour poster advertising Lord George Sanger’s Circus, Malvern Link, 1957” to see how one company turned show bills into tiny art.
