Postcard showing Krichel's troupe of two giants (one male, one female), a fat lady and eight midgets. The men are all wearing suits, the giant has a top hat. The fat lady has her left foot resting on a footstool and the midget women are wearing 1920s 'flapper' dresses, beads and headbands. There is a JK monogram behind them. The card would probably have been sold as a souvenir at places where they were exhibited as part of a freak or variety show and there are several with the same title.
