About this work

Description

Postcard showing two views of a dwarf woman in a full length black dress printed together as one image. She is holding a baby in the left hand one and standing next to a carved chair in the other. The chair appears in both halves. There is no indication of who she was but the card would probably have been sold as a souvenir at places where she was exhibited as part of a freak or variety show.
