<p>Postcard showing Machnow in a top hat and heavy, knee-length coat standing with his arms at his side next to a much smaller man in a suit and straw boater. The card would have probably been sold as a souvenir where Machnow was appearing as part of a freak or variety show. The photograph was taken by "Hall, New York" but the card printed in Great Britain.</p>
