Item Description
High quality, 3.5x5.5" silver gelatin real photo postcard handed out during performances featuring Eck and his twin brother Robert. 1930s. Johnny Eck, the half-man from Baltimore, MD, became a cult figure after appearing in Tod Browning's 1932 film "Freaks." He died in 1991 at 79 years of age, his anatomically normal twin brother following a few years later. The twins performed magic shows where the full-body twin would be sawed in half, and Johnny would crawl through the audience, much to their shock. Some minor corner tip wear but still Exc. overall.
