The original said this might have been taken in 1900, but looking at the clothes I'm placing this at around 1920s or so.
I liked this one because the midway is kind of neat yet totally tacky. It makes for an interesting colorization. Mostly because the banners need filling and figuring out the colors can be daunting. I loved the kids in their full suits. But also interestingly enough that blacks and whites intermingled like we do today. Maybe my history of separation is more mixed up than I thought. There are two boys by the podium that look like they are the best of friends.
I don't know if they performed this way normally, or they were giving a free show for the camera.

I have to say this is an incredible piece - you put a lot of detail into the colours - ever thought about doing a youtube video that showcases some of your methods?
Mike Savad replied:
once they know the method, then everyone will know it and do it. and with colorization, all you have is the technique. ---Mike Savad http://www.MikeSavad.com

Very cool Mike, what a dramatic difference, love the color selections and the subject matter.
Mike Savad replied:
this one was tough because i had to repaint the background of the posters in a way that i think they painted them then. ---Mike Savad MikeSavad.com
