This is one of the most handsome and genuine circa 1870's Carte-De-Visite CDV photographs of an early Circus Sideshow and Dime Museum Fat Man. Although the man’s name escapes us, we believe he was one of the Oddity performers promoted by P. T. Barnum in his Museum on 14th Street in New York City. The contours and emulsion on the image are very nice. The pose is excellent. As is the facial expression. One of the best in our view. This is a rare early photograph from post civil war era America. It is in very good vintage condition with only some very minor light wear. No problems. Photographed in Ohio. The photo measures approximately 2 ½ x 4 inches. GREAT HISTORIC AMERICANA! ONE OF THE FINEST ANTIQUE 1870s CDV PHOTOS OF AN EARLY CIRCUS FREAKS SHOW FAT MAN FROM THE P. T. BARNUM REPERTOIRE OF HUMAN ODDITIES! Fat performers belonged to the sideshow world just as much as the Celebrated Freaks Jo-Jo the Russian Dog Faced Man, Lionel the Lion Faced Boy, Zip the "What-Is-It" Pinhead, Bearded Lady Annie Jones and Armless Wonder Charles Tripp. THIS IS A GENUINE 19th CENTURY PERIOD ORIGINAL CDV PHOTOGRAPH!
