Go to Google and search the Images for "side show posters".
You'll get lots. |

Also if you are curious as to the whole psychology of WHY side shows write their signs like they do and why that works, check out Doug Higley's How To Grind Show at

One of the last living 10-in-one performers. I wanted to be in show business the worst way, and that was it.

Actually your much better doing a search for "sideshow banners" or "side show banners" or "bannerline" (both as one word and two words), you'll get a lot more hits as these are the more accurate terms for what you are looking for. Johnny's stuff is great over at Czar of the Bizarre he is a true legend in the industry, also check out a new up and comer Toni-Lee Sangastiano at

I've also found many of them by looking for "vintage posters" or "vintage banners".

Hey Poke, I live in Hulmeville AND am a retired sideshow performer. Painted some banners in my time as well. What do you need this info for? Maybe I could help seeing as how I am right across the Neshaminy Creek.

I was working on a show that has hit the back burner, for now. but some of the ideas were some form of show poster, and a 1860's med show.
