Description
Midget Exhibit Images from the Heyday of Dwarf Display
From the late 19th century to the mid-20th century, people with dwarfism were showcased in exhibitions and circuses as a form of entertainment. This collection of postcards offers a unique glimpse into this little-known chapter of history.
Featuring images from the era's freak shows and exhibitions, these postcards provide a fascinating insight into the lives of those who were exhibited and the culture that accepted them. The book is a rare and valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of disability and entertainment.
