About this work

Description

Postcard showing an older Chauncey Morlan with a moustache (he was previously known as the Indiana Fat Boy) and Guy Gill standing side by side with tasselled sashes over their right shoulders. There is a chair behind them. The card was presumably on sale as a souvenir to those who came to see them as part of a freakshow in a travelling circus etc.
