Description

Postcard showing Frederick standing with his left arm raised above the heads of two other men. All are wearing suits, waistcoats and hats. There is a brick building behind them with ceramic roof tiles. The card would probably have been sold as a souvenir at places where he was exhibited as part of a freak or variety show.
