    Original Circus Sideshow Postcard - Lionel the Lion-faced Man Hairy Person Color
    This original circus sideshow post card features one of the most famous of the performers who was billed as Lionel the Lion-faced Man. Lionel had a rare medical condition that made him hairy called
    hypertrichosis.
    Ephemera and photos of him are rare and desirable. Sideshow pitch books, pitch cards, post cards, pamphlets, and flyers are fairly scarce and not often listed for sale. This one would be a great addition to any collection.
    I am selling off antique circus sideshow photographs and ephemera from my personal collection. All of my items are guaranteed authentic and 100% original, NOT reproductions.
    Condition: Please see my high quality scans for specifics on condition. Nice vintage condition with some wear expected of a piece of this age.
