Vtg 1920’s Carnival Prizes Souvenirs Chalkware Statue Figurine Doll Antique Toys! Buddy of mine had these, thought they were a great piece of history…… Said his grandfather had them in his workshop forever! Was a crack at the base of girls legs, I put some gorilla glue around crack to keep it from spreading (had to look real close to see it) guessing they were a couple most of these were hand cast & hand painted!
Horn players and drummers w/ handprinted Sight of a Lifetime banner above. Unidentified but does appear to be under a big top. 5 x 7 w/ chip bottom right that does not affect subject.
Endearingly incongruous, modest pose. Likely taken by the touring show for sale in small towns. Trivial foxing in margins, corner wear & single emulsion flake to sky.
Performers, barkers & rousties all gathered around the dressing / costume racks. Make do “panorama” measures 3.5 x 9 of two smaller images pasted together at center.
