Danbury Fair
1930

This is a detailed black and white illustration of a bustling fair scene titled "Danbury Fair." A large banner with the words "DANBURY FAIR" arches over the top. The foreground features a variety of fruits and vegetables, with a prominent, smiling female figure adorned with a grapevine in her hair. In the background, fairgoers are engaged in various activities, with a Ferris wheel rising above the crowd. The artist's signature, "John Sloan," and the year "1932" are visible at the bottom right.
