A FASCINATING INSIGHT INTO THE WORLD OF SIDESHOW CULTURE OF RURAL AMERICA Sideshow banners are a true slice of Americana A colourful history of the carnival sideshow banner art. The book lovingly surveys this now vanished icon of early rural America, counter pointing classic freak show art with contemporary interpretations. Features 100 colour photographs 50 archival b & w photos of sideshows provide a historical context for the banner illustrations. By the mid-1980s, banners became scarcer and private collectors bartered their treasures back and forth, driving the value of the canvases higher and higher. They are now a rarity and are considered as art.
