Hand-painted banner depicting a Circassian snake charmer and a caricature of an Ubangi gaze from windows on either side of the banner towards a carnival master with arms outstretched over the complete cast of the sideshow. Painted for use in trade shows to advertise the talents of the artist, with extra attention given to the fine details of each figure. 30 x 54?. Minor wear across image. An exceptionally executed banner in a rare size.
