23×23 inches. Part of the circus alphabet series of posters printed in 1968. The main type is Chermayeff & Geismar’s experimental typeface made famous just the year before in their work for The Electric Circus nightclub in New York. And perhaps the text is actually a fragment of an Electric Circus flyer since many of the elements in Corita’s work are samples from existing prints.
