About this title

Synopsis

The Last Sideshow is a wonderful chronicle of an American community of traveling circus performers. As a contributor to Vogue, GQ and Elle, Hanspeter Schneider's professional life has focused on the artifice of beauty. In his new book he challenges popular assumptions and captures beauty with charm and understanding, in perhaps the most unusual of places. The portraits have humor, dignity and vivacity but above all they are a fascinating account of a disappearing community.
