Real photo postcard outdoor portrait showing an unusually tawo man posed with midget or little person. The scene is set in a wooded or park-like area with trees and foliage filling the background.


The two man stands at center to provide scale and context wearing a dark suits and brimmed hat. The midget or little person stands between them. The ground appears uneven and natural, and the background is dense with leaves, creating a textured backdrop compared with studio scenes. The three figures are posed close together, with the figures placed to emphasize the height contrast. The photograph has a candid, outdoor snapshot feel despite the posed arrangement.


The reverse reads: postcard back with handwritten message covering the correspondence area. Handwritten inscriptions read: begins “Dear Dorothy” and includes date “Sept 19, 1915” (remaining message is partially legible).
