This intriguing poster advertises the first American tour of Blacaman the “Hindu Animal Hypnotist” and featured attraction of the Hagenbeck Wallace Circus. Blacaman’s eyes radiate mysterious beams to seemingly controlling savage beasts. This poster is a vintage original from Blacaman’s 1938 first tour in the United States. Blacaman was actually an Italian circus performer who made appearances around the world and appeared in the 1939 W.C. Field’s movie You Can’t Cheat An Honest Man. This poster is a vintage original which has been professionally restored and line backed.
