Lewiston, Maine, "Fakers Row"

We see in this carnival layout a "Tin Types" sign advertising a traveling photo studio, and banner for a show called "Billy Possum." In this circa 1910 midway scene from a small "State Fair Grounds" in Maine, the traditional view seems to be that sideshows are full of Fakers! Published by "The Hugh C. Leighton Co., Manufacturer, Portland, ME."
