Albumen cabinet card photograph dating circa 1890s depicting a man posed in a studio interior wearing a theatrical double figure costume. The costume presents the illusion of a woman in front and a second female figure behind, while the visible feet beneath the dress are those of the male performer. The front figure wears a floral dress and hat, with painted facial features, while the performer’s head appears above and behind in contrasting attire, creating a theatrical composite character.

The mount is printed Boyd, 2176 Archer Avenue, Chicago. Decorative typography and address are printed along the lower margin. No additional text is visible on the verso in the provided image.
