Title	Three ring circus set
Subject	Circus 1950s Toys
Description	In the early eighteenth century, "circus" meant a one person or one animal performance that usually moved from town to town entertaining travelers and local people. Circuses, like many other kinds of popular entertainment, were controversial in the 1700s and at times, were even banned. During the 19th century, circus promoters were constantly trying to prove that the circus was a form of decent, family entertainment that had educational value. The circus reached its peak in the late nineteenth century when it grew from one ring to three rings. This circus play set was probably made in the 1950s and features musicians, animals, performers and the clowns.
