    Description

    Interesting circus photograph by noted circus photographer Frank Fernekes with a Hollywood address. The image shows a group of characters dressed as clowns. It is a clown band that also has a couple of midget musicians. *Frank Fernekes (1872-1953) was a commercial photographer with an interest in circus and Wild West themes. He was born and resided in New York until sometime before 1927, then moved permanently to Hollywood, California and was active through the 1940s. It is also believed he probably had close contact with movie personnel from Western film studios in Hollywood. Based on the above dates, I believe this image to be 1930-40s. Fernekes name and address stamped on the back of the image. About 3 ½” x 6”. One bent corner outside the image. See scans.
