Description
This rare lot was acquired at an estate auction in Western Illinois. It is appealing, desirable & highly collectible.
Circus Performers, Unusual Persona's & Side Show/Freak Show Acts are the subjects of these unusual storyboard posters. Using the information found on the interweb, the photos & descriptions, it was determined that these were created around 1930 - 1940. This exceedingly rare collection was created by collaging typewritten text and real photographs.
The exhibition of freaks, monstrosities or marvels of nature were essential components of travelling exhibitions in Europe and America throughout the Victorian period. What was saleable as far as the freak was concerned was, of course, physical difference, in a form that was both marketable and palatable.
The people memorialized by these posters include:
Zip the Pinhead
Betty Williams
The Hilton Sisters
Clicko
Penguin Girl
Major Mite
Lilian Dean & a host of others.
We present the posters exactly as they were when we acquired them. No attempts to clean them have been made by us. There is considerable wear as seen in the photos. The posters are mounted on stiff cardboard. Each poster measures approximately 22" x 14". These hard to find posters will make a great addition to any home or collection.
The photos are an important part of
the description. Please view all of them carefully before making a decision to place a bid. We will gladly provide additional photos if more are needed. If you have specific questions, please do not hesitate to message us.
