The pictures above accompanied an article by Jan Bussell in the October 1948 edition of "Modern Living" Magazine.  Pictures of the Hogarth Marionettes featured on the front and centre pages.

Jan Bussell & Ann Hogarth were best known as the creators, with Annette Mills, of the Muffin the Mule TV series.  They had an outstanding career in puppetry from the 1930s to the 1980s.

The Circus was one of their earliest and most-performed productions with many variations and new characters added.
