The Sideshow Banners of Fred Johnson

Fred G. Johnson had a 65-year career of side show banner painting, creating many works that are still prized by collectors and museums around the world.

The huge banners (sometimes 10 to 15 feet or more in size ) are now being sold by a private collector in Westfield, Indiana. This rare, private collection by George Douglass took 40 years to acquire. It is being offered for sale so that others may enjoy this wonderful art work. Most of the banners were painted by Fred Johnson.

You can learn more by e-mailing the collector: jack@vintagesideshowbanners.com. See more banners and prices here.
