The Banner Painter
Posted By thecircusblog on December 17, 2011
These show painters were unbelievable. All you had to do wavs to give them an idea of what you wanted and their mind would run away with it. They had great imagination and skill and when their banner was completed it was indeed a work of art. Most of these side show banners are worth a fortune in today’s market. Even thoughts that have been painted over a few times are extremely valuable. If you happen to have a circus or carnival side show banner, you have a work of art.
