Mermaid Exhibition Flyer

Description

This was part of the October Carnevil Show at the EVE Gallery in the Pomona Arts Colony.

These flyers were handed out around Pomona in the weeks leading up to the Gallery opening.

My piece was actually a slew of misleading news articles and advertising for a Feejee Mermaid, along with the actual specimen. The whole campaign was very closely modeled after the hoax made famous by P.T. Barnum.
