Description

Postcard (probably late 1920s) showing Mr. and Mrs. Franks dressed up in their finest clothes, standing next to a wooden chair (for scale). She is wearing a wedding dress and carrying a bouquet of flowers. The card would probably have been sold as a souvenir at places where they were exhibited as part of a freak or variety show.
