Scrapbook of Agnes Schwarzenbacher: The Rubber Skin Lady faithfully reproduces the scrapbook kept by one of sideshow’s biggest stars of the 1930s. It includes numerous photos of Agnes, her family, her friends in the sideshow, newspaper clippings related to performances and other sideshow news, and more.
The book features an introduction by Marc Hartzman, author of American Sideshow, along with brief biographies of most performers seen throughout the book.
This very limited edition is a perfect addition to any sideshow/circus/oddities collection.
