[MEDICAL DEFORMITIES] [SIDESHOWS] [PHOTOGRAPHY] Cabinet card depicting sideshow attraction Lalloo by WENDT, Frank (Photographer) [LALLOO - subject] - 1902

Boonton, New Jersey: Frank Wendt, Photographer, 1902. Good. One cabinet card, measuring about 4.25" x 6.5". In overall good condition only, withtwo tack holes (one in the photograph), and some glue/lifting residue on the reverse. Whole mount is gently and evenly curled. Reverse also bears a stamp reading: "As seen with Walter L. Main Circus - 1902." Image somewhat overexposed, but still clear. The image itself does not seem to show Lalloo's deformity, which was the "attraction" exploited by P. T. Barnum - a parasitic twin portruding from his abdomen.
