The World's smallest Circus at home in an Attic.
Becoming the director of a circus...was the dream of this elderly gentlemen, pictured here.
Mr. Herbert Guth, 59, of Friedrichsdorf Seulberg near Bad Homburg/Ts. Has done his best within the past 50 year to make his childhood's dream become reality. He has created this miniature circus in a 1:50 and 1:100 scale. The small circus owns more than 500 different vehicles and more than 600 small animals. Four large tents with circus rings and all the other trimming were made by hand by Mr. Guth, who was also assisted by his son Joachim, 17, pictured here too. a multitude of small electro motors speed the animal and artist's groups thus pretending completely the genuine impression of circus atmosphere.
All the parts that make up this circus were made by Mr. Guth or his son themselves, they also painted them in a very loving way.
