About this work

Description

Postcard showing Peter and Paul standing, arms at their sides, in top hats, bow ties and evening suits in front of a full size woman wearing a cardigan, pleated skirt and cloche hat. The card would probably have been sold as a souvenir at places where they were exhibited as part of a freak or variety show, in this case, Blackpool Tower.
