The Spider Woman French Poster Circa 1937

This is a French  poster (32.5"x 46.5") advertising "La Femme Araignée" (The Spider Woman), a famous circus illusion featured by Cirque Daniellis. The poster promotes a "Collection of Phenomena" and describes the attraction as "unique in the world". The "Spider Woman" or "Spidora" was a classic sideshow illusion where a living woman's head appeared attached to the body of a large spider, typically achieved using a series of mirrors.

This specific lithographed poster was printed by Aussel of Paris and dates back to approximately 1937 (though often associated with the general style of the 1920s).

A notable marketing detail on the poster is the claim that the attraction was "assured for 5 million" (francs), a common circus tactic to highlight the rarity and value of the "phenomenon".

Stone Litho, Linen backed.
