Historical Context & Description
This undivided back postcard, published by C.R. Childs of Chicago, features an image of 'Jack and Jill,' noted as the heaviest children living, from Sibley's Superb Shows. The photograph captures the two individuals standing side by side, dressed in simple attire, against a plain backdrop. The postcard is a fascinating glimpse into early 20th-century entertainment and sideshow culture.
The back of the postcard is typical of the undivided back era (1901-1907), with space designated for the address only. There is no postmark or message present, and the card remains unused. The condition shows some wear, particularly in the corners and edges, with noticeable creases and surface abrasions, but it retains its historical charm.
