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.
So many scenes playing out. Unusual perspective to the photograph looking UP to the animal. Tremendous focus, but also joy in his eyes. The boys on either side are terrified, while the one just behind is fascinated. No context to tease out the intent here, other than he has an audience. Sepia 5 x 7 w/ corner damage top left that does not affect subject.
The photographer is shaking hard enough that only the snake’s open jaws are in focus. A dime museum, travel or carnival act makes sense w/ two unscrupulous and terrified businessmen. Unmounted 7 x 11 w/ edge & corner chips.
