About this work

Description

Postcard (posted at John Lester's Midget Town at Blackpool Tower on 10 August 1927) showing five midget couples standing in a row. The men are all wearing black suits and top hats, the women full length dresses of a light coloured material and hats. The card would probably have been sold as a souvenir at places where they were exhibited as part of a freak or variety show.
