Cirque Époque
The printed spectacle of the Belle Époque circus.
Drawn from the showbills, the gaslight, the worn velvet, the smoke that hung in the air after the last act. Three presets and a kit of atmospheric tools — built on the feeling of paper that has lived a hundred years.
A collection of presets and tools drawn from the printed spectacle of the Belle Époque circus — the showbills, the gaslight, the worn velvet, the smoke that hung in the air after the last act.
There's a particular feeling to a poster that's lived a hundred years. Edges softened by a thousand hands. Colors muted by sun and time. The faint warmth of paper that has yellowed in attics and frame shops, in cellars and backstage corridors. Cirque Époque is built on that feeling — and on the spectacle the paper once advertised.

"I love the evocative feel this set gives — it immediately evokes a nostalgia and I love the muted aged tones. The tools are a great addition to add in further drama and style. Overall this is a wonderful set of tools that really give an engaging stylised look of times gone by!"
"I really like how accurate these are overall in use. I tested them on my photos across Europe with and without people and I like how it renders across the board. It definitely gives the feel of ages posters!"
