Continuing my Circus & Sideshow ACEO series...with my version of the Fiji Mermaid...if you look closely, you can see another oddity behind the mermaid- a two headed pig! The Fiji Mermaid was a "cabinet curiosity"- essentially, it was a creation made from the mummified remains of the torso of a monkey, and the body of a fish; occasionally it was an actual live person with the affliction known as sirenomelia, or a dugong (similar to a manatee). The most well known Fiji Mermaid was under the watchful eye of P.T.Barnum, though the creation was eventually lost in a fire. Watermark does not appear on the original piece, or any prints/posters.

The 8" x 10" option is offered as hand embellished limited edition prints of 25. These are printed on high quality photo paper, and are then embellished by myself with numerous media including but not limited to: inks, gold and silver leaf, and archival paints. All limited edition prints are signed on the back.
