This picture is named for its subject, a barker, the fairground worker whose job was to stand at the entrance of a midway attraction and call out to passersby to draw them in. Barkers were a fixture of American fairs and carnivals in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when a good pitch could decide whether a sideshow or ride filled up. The setting is the grounds of the Vermont state fair in Rutland, where the fairgrounds have long hosted agricultural exhibits, livestock competitions, and midway entertainment. Photographs like this one capture the crowds, the signage, and the showmanship that defined those events.
