"...[A] lost epoch has been beautifully remembered through sideshow banners--an era before social deviance had replaced physical deformity in the pantheon of casual prurience....this exquisitely produced collection confirms that banner painting--with its fiery colors and high drama--is a folk art built largely on a bedrock of brilliant false advertising.
