Description
Photograph of Bob Baker's marionettes, 1978. In the center, a furry marionette creature that looks like a monkey with wide black eyes wears a bowler hat with a little vest and tie. The puppet is controlled by a man standing to the left who holds his hands out while maneuvering the strings that make the creature come to life. To the right of center, a second man wearing a checkered pattern jacket using his right hand to control a clown marionette that floats behind the first creature. A woman to the right sits level with the puppets in a chair at the bottom of the image. The wall behind the men is filled with framed pictures of what appear to be advertisements.
