Humpty Dumpty Circus | A Joyful Big Top in Vintage Style

This original offset lithograph, printed in 1936, features a bustling toy circus in full swing—clowns, acrobats, a ballerina on horseback, a camel, and even an elephant. Rendered in soft, pastel tones with bold pops of color, this scene captures the imagination of early 20th-century childhood play. A rare piece by Renée Barnes, this lithograph brings lively charm to nurseries, playrooms, and vintage toy collections alike.

Each print comes from our 1980s archive purchase from Catalda Fine Arts and has never been framed, sold, or displayed. These are true “new vintage” prints — preserved flat for decades and now available exclusively through Pink Flamingos.
