DescriptionBright pink "A" printed on top of a blue background. Both the top and vertical ends seem to be an advertisement for the circus. In the center of the print is an image of a circus performer, whose upper body is framed in a flower wreath, balancing on one leg on a moving horse. Underneath the title "THE CIRCUS" at the top of the print Corita wrote "(damn everything but)."
