L'Homme Sauvage French Game Litho

French Game Color Litho. That the French had in the late-19th Century ensconced the African "Wildman" into their own popular culture (along with the American Indian), illustrates how the Barnumesque depiction of savage cultures had become a archetype of performers in the sideshow and circus. This beautiful postcard-sized color lithographed print features a sideshow banner-like wildman image, another wildman banging on a drum, and a final wildman shown in a jail window in a grass hut. Also an American Indian chief, a monkey and the French flag.
