A Clown Band
Comical advertising boudoir cabinet card of a clown band. Certain aspects give us precursors to the Village People! The clown in the sailor hat is wearing an advertising outfit that reads “Victor Roller Mills” which was located in Ottawa, IL. Possibly these guys worked at the factory and at the very least he made his outfit out of mill bags. We love the farmer on the bottom right as he chews on an old corncob. Now the clown right behind him holding the cymbal certainly has the look of a serial killer! This one will bring a daily smile to your face. The image has great tones and contrast with quite a bit of wear as seen. By Gleim, Ottawa, ILL. $45
