Cirkus Scott
Västerås 1959
Lennart Nilsson (1922-2017)

Circus Scott was a Swedish touring circus founded in 1937. This picture was taken in 1959, in the city of Västerås. The circus continued operating until 2003.

Here’s how Nilsson described the prep for this stunning photo:
“A picture like this has probably never been taken before. It was planned and experimented for five days, everything would work. The entire circus was rebuilt for the picture. The setup alone took three hours. The animals were lined up in drawn places. Circus Scott costs SEK 17,000 a day. After that tax, this picture would cost exactly SEK 12,850!”
From Bildjournalen 1959
