An announcer or barker with a microphone addressing the passing crowds outside the Hoxie Brothers Sideshow and Combined Zoo at its travelling circus in the USA in 1965. Alongside him is a boy holding knives and a young man with two clown puppets. Behind are colourful hand-painted banners advertising the attractions. This image is from an old American amateur (badly damaged) colour transparency. It has been heavily retouched and will look its best used at small sizes – a vintage 1960s photograph.


An announcer or barker with a microphone addressing the passing crowds outside the Hoxie Brothers Sideshow and Combined Zoo at its travelling circus in the USA in 1965. Alongside him is a boy holding knives and a young man with two clown puppets. Behind are colourful hand-painted banners advertising the attractions – today this kind of advertising is regarded as precious and valuable folk art. This image is from an old American amateur colour transparency. This was badly damaged and this image has been heavily retouched. It will look its best used at small sizes. It will also look soft if used at too large a size – a vintage 1960s photograph.
