Colour poster advertising an appearance at a freakshow or as part of a variety night by a man and boy (Adrian and Feodor) both of whom are suffering from extreme hypertrichosis of the face.

Emanuel's benefit, Wednesday, Feb. 25th [1874]. Positively for this night only. They had appeared at the South London Palace two days previously.
