  2. From August Sander’s People of the Twentieth Century a portfolio of Traveling People – Fair and Circus, photographed between 1926-1932. The German photographer did not attempt to capture his countrymen performing stupendous feats, but instead presented the circus workers as citizens, shown in their home and with a family of their own choosing. The photos present a decided alternative to what was then considered traditional German culture. 🎪🎪 #augustsander #circus #travelingpeople #peopleofthe20thcentury #fairgroundworkers #circusworkers #circusperformers #germanpeople #photography #photographer #photoseries #photoportfolio #fotografia #fotografie #zirkus #cirque #circo #zirkusarbeiter #chosenfamily
