Real photo postcard publicity portrait of a performer identified by printed caption as the “Smallest Woman in the World.” The photograph shows the subject standing alone in a studio setting.


The performer stands centered against a plain background wearing a light dress and holding a small object in one hand. The floor and backdrop meet at a faint horizon line behind her feet. The portrait is composed with a large amount of empty background space surrounding the small figure, emphasizing her scale. Lighting highlights the dress and facial features while leaving the surrounding background soft and even.


The front bears the printed text: “Smallest Woman in the World.”. The reverse reads: “POST CARD” with divided back and stamp box. Handwritten inscriptions read: Pencil notation along the edge reading “Margaret Ann …” (remaining text partially legible).
