Sideshow banner original And antique! Snap Wyatt! Circa 1940s! Zoma Depraved
This is an AMAZING antique carnival sideshow banner for “Zoma”, a wild woman freak show attraction from the 1940s or’50s. It is unsigned, but was almost certainly painted by famed sideshow and carnival banner artist Snap Wyatt. This banner appears in the 1990s book “Freaks, geeks, & Wild Girls” – one of the early publications about this art form. The banner looks great in person, and is still bright and colorful. There are areas of wear with minor color loss from years of folding and carnival wear, and a few small holes, but this piece is still solid and stunning. It is roughly 8 feet tall X 11 feet long, so it’s the perfect size to display on a large wall. Each corner has a heavy duty steel ring which was used for mounting on the midway. This is an opportunity for any high end carnival, sideshow, oddity, or folk art collector! Please see my other listings!
