Schaubude / Show Booth (colour litho)
8666188 Schaubude / Show Booth (colour litho) by Christophe (Colomb, Georges) (1856-1945); Private Collection; (add.info.: Schaubude. Die Schaubude, heute noch eine Hauptattraktion des Rummelplatzes, fehlte auch fruher auf keinem Jahrmarkt oder Schutzenfest. Auch damals sind es Abnormitaten, die die Schaulust besonders reizen. Ein Kalb mit zwei Kopfen, der grosste Riese und der kleinste Zwerg, eine drei Zentner schwere Frau und ahnliche, eigentlich bedauernswerte Wesen befriedigten den Hang nach der Sensation. Translation: Show Booth. The show booth, still one of the main attractions of the fairground today, was not missing at any fair or rifle festival in the past. At that time, too, it was the abnormalities that particularly aroused curiosity. A calf with two heads, the largest giant and the smallest dwarf, a woman weighing three hundred weight and similar, actually pitiable creatures satisfied the penchant for the sensation.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the essence of a Schaubude, or show booth, from a bygone era. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life the excitement and curiosity that surrounded these attractions at fairs and festivals.
Intriguing abnormalities such as a calf with two heads, the largest giant, the smallest dwarf, and a three hundred weight woman were showcased to satisfy the public's desire for sensation and spectacle. These "bedauernswerte Wesen" (pitiable creatures) may have been seen as oddities, but they were also sources of wonder and fascination for those seeking entertainment.
The Schaubude was a staple of fairgrounds in the past, offering visitors an opportunity to marvel at unusual sights and experience thrills beyond their everyday lives. It was a place where reality blurred with fantasy, where imagination ran wild amidst the hustle and bustle of carnival festivities.
As we gaze upon this historical print by Christophe (Colomb, Georges), we are transported back in time to an era when show booths reigned supreme as main attractions at fairs across Europe. The image serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with the extraordinary and our constant quest for new experiences that challenge our perceptions of normalcy.
