Side Show
1928

Illustration of a vintage sideshow scene with performers standing under red and white striped umbrellas, flanked by ticket booths marked "10¢." A group of spectators, some wearing hats, are seated in the foreground, facing the performers. The performers, adorned in colorful costumes, appear to be waiting to entertain the audience. The artwork has a whimsical, hand-colored quality, suggesting an early 20th-century setting.
