Large Fairground Hand Painted Canvas Banner
Large Fairground Hand Painted Canvas Banner
This wonderfully charming large hand painted canvas depicts a boxing booth image challenging all comers to take on the travelling fairs champion. If anyone brave or foolish enough can survive two full rounds, then the princely sum of £5 will be theirs. These endearing naive canvas signs would have once proudly hung along the entrance areas of small town travelling fairs to entice passing trade.
