Real photo in a postcard format photograph showing a group of littel people performers posed with musical instruments identified by the printed caption as “Singer’s Midget Band.” The group sits and stands in rows before a striped curtain backdrop while holding instruments including drums, brass instruments, and string instruments. A large sousaphone is visible rising above the seated performers in the back row.



Groups of midget performers such as this frequently appeared in traveling circuses, sideshows, and vaudeville programs during the early twentieth century. Promotional postcards were commonly produced and sold to audiences as souvenirs featuring the performers.



The front bears the printed text: Caption reading “Singer’s Midget Band.”. The reverse reads: Plain postcard reverse.
