About this work

Description

Postcard showing Harold Pyott ("the smallest man in England" and "twelve inches smaller than Tom Thumb of Barnum fame") standing in a dark suit on top of a table next to a potted plant wth his hands raised to shoulder level. The floor is tiled and there is an open window with curtains behind him. The card would probably have been sold as a souvenir at places where he was exhibited as part of a freak or variety show.
