Although a few circuses performed in Canada in the late 18th century, this is the oldest known circus broadside to be printed in Canada. It features the Pépin and Breschard circus, part of which, led by Cayetano Mariotini, toured eastern Canada. It gave performances in Montreal during the winter and spring of 1812 - including this one on March 12. It is an elaborate broadside for the times, using red ink and numerous type-faces to attract the attention of the passer-by.
