Description

A carte-de-visite card that represents an act with two men. Pictured in a photo glued onto the cardboard card are two small men with receding hair, beards, and dressed in striped jerseys and tights. Over the tights the men wear haltered shorts with two white buttons at the chest. One man appears to be carrying a rucksack. They stand on a matting of grass with a small hemlock tree in the background. The card states the phrase "WAINO AND PLUTANO, Weight 45 Pounds. Age 50 to 60." The reverse of the card has a royal coat of arms silhouette, then states "CHAS. EISENMANN, PHOTOGRAPHER, 229 BOWERY NEW YORK. Portraits taken by instantaneous Process. Extra Inducements to the Theatrical Profession".
