Snake Charmer
1928

A colorful vintage illustration depicts a man and a woman standing on a platform with a banner reading "The Sideshow 10¢" in ornate lettering. The man, dressed in a blue jacket, vest, and striped trousers, holds a small American flag and a book, while the woman, wearing a green dress with yellow trim, looks into the distance with her hand shading her eyes. Behind them is a red and white striped tent, and a small figure appears in the background on a lower level of the platform. The artwork has a whimsical, carnival-like atmosphere.
