These large scale backdrops were commissioned by travelling carnivals or circus groups touring regional Australia to advertise frontier attractions, rides, or wild west performances. It features vibrant, saturated colours and stylised ray patterns in the sky common in sideshow art.
A rare piece of mid century Australian carnival art.
