Description: Original cabinet card photo of unidentified sideshow personalities, and a man who I assume was their manager. They might be "wild people", maybe even "cannibals". The woman appears to have microcephaly - typically called a "pinhead" back in the day. I don't recognize the pair and could not find another example of this image online, as hard as I tried. I picked up a decent sized collection of these sideshow people images.. quite a few were on this pink mount with blank backs...a note that was with the collection said that many were TEST SHOTS for the famous photographer Eisenmann... that might explain why I could not find other examples, and why the backs are blank. Cabinet card is 6.5" x 4.25" with blank back. It is in very good antique condition overall with some rub marks on the top and bottom of the mount, as shown. The photograph itself is excellent.
