Presenting an absolutely wonderful antique circa 1920’s photograph from Germany showing a Circus Sideshow Midget Performer playing the piano. It is evident that this lady surely loves her music. It is a most engaging historical image. We believe the woman was a member of the famous “Ritter’s Midgets Troupe”. An additional attractive aspect of this picture are the ribbed edges around the borders which were very popular in old European photos. This is one of many original photos that we acquired from the estate collection of the famous Sideshow Freaks performer and actress Daisy Earles. This is an original photograph developed onto postcard stock (which was common at that time). It is a real Photograph and not a printed card. The picture is in very good vintage condition. No serious problems. It measures approximately 3½ x 5½ inches. The photo hails from the personal collection of Daisy Earles. A GREAT HISTORICAL PHOTO FROM THE DAISY EARLES COLLECTION!
