This one-of-a-kind sideshow banner was "flown" on an outside bannerline created for the Shelburne Museum's "Circus Day in America exhibition." Knee-deep in a blood-red swamp and surrounded by an environment suggestive of another world, Gator Girl intently stares off into the distance as if she is listening for incoming wanted or unwanted visitors. Poised with strength and confidence, this Gator Girl is unlike some previous historical banners of gator girls which depicted submissive women. Her skin is a blend of half alligator, half human. The actual medical condition for this skin disease is ichthyosis, a hereditary skin disease in which the epidermis continuously flakes off in large scales or plates. "Flown" is a term that indicates a banner has literally been outside usually as part of an actual sideshow or in this case, an exhibition, therefore increasing the value of the banner and it also indicates general wear from outdoor use. Size: 7 ft x 5 ft
