Barnum & Bailey/Peerless Prodigies of Physical Phenomena. 1898.
An amazing array of “Marvelous Living Human Curiosities” adorn this 1-sheet horizontal spectacular for Barnum & Bailey’s Greatest Show On Earth. This attraction, more commonly referred to as a Sideshow, brought together some of the most fascinating folks anyone could ever hope to meet: The Armless Wonder, The Georgia Magnet, The Human Pin-Cushion, The Great Expansionist and The Human Skye Terrier, just to name a few. Of course, the usual suspects are all in attendance: The Bearded Lady, The Tattooed People, The Living Skeleton and The Glass Eater.
