Cabinet card photograph depicting N. G. W. Winner, a little person performer, posed standing in a studio garden setting. The sitter wears a tall top hat, long coat, vest, and tie, and holds a walking cane while leaning one arm against a decorative pedestal draped with ivy. The painted studio backdrop depicts a garden gate and foliage, typical of late nineteenth-century portrait settings.

The mount bears the photographer’s imprint “Eisenmann, Photo, New York.” Charles Eisenmann produced many portraits of performers, curiosities, and sideshow attractions associated with the exhibition and dime museum culture of the period.

Printed text on the reverse identifies the sitter and provides biographical details: “N. G. W. Winner. Age, 22 years. Height, 32 inches. Weight, 58 lbs. Born in La Motte, Jackson Co., Iowa.” Cabinet card format with printed identification on the reverse.
