Interesting amateur snapshot showing an outside talker in front of a Coney Island sideshow with banners for Alzoria “Turtle Girl” and Carl “Alligator-Boy.” Note the huge African-American performer to the talker’s right in an Aunt Jemima costume. (See Catalogue #386 for another 1960’s view of this same banner line and sideshow in color.)
Dates: 1950s
