Browsing

The home page contains an image carousel. Users can navigate between the images by selecting the arrows to the right and left of the image displayed. Below the carousel is a brief history of Astley’s circus and its performances, including the role it played in the history of the circus more generally.

To view images of the clippings, select “Clippings” from the drop-down menu under “Browse” on the menu bar at the top of the page. Here, you will encounter a list of the images of the clippings organized by publication date, with undated clippings listed first.

Thumbnail images appear on the left, with the image name above three lines of the transcription from the image. Both the thumbnail and image name link to that clipping’s entry. There are multiple pages of clippings; users can navigate between pages by scrolling to the bottom of the page and selecting “Next” or the page number they wish to look at.
