EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and feast your eyes on the enchanting C.H. Schafer Midget Circus Troupe, captured in this photograph from the 1910s. This rare postcard image offers a glimpse into the world of small-scale entertainment that once captivated audiences in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. The Schafer Midget Circus Troupe, also known as Schafers Lilliput or Schaefers Midgets, was a popular sideshow attraction that showcased the extraordinary talents and charisma of little people, or as they were then referred to, midgets or dwarves. The troupe members, dressed in elaborate costumes and fancy attire, are seen here posing confidently for the camera, each one a unique and intriguing character. The image exudes an air of wonder and excitement, with the performers displaying a sense of pride and joy in their unusual profession. Their colorful outfits, adorned with sequins, lace, and feathers, add to the allure of the scene, transporting us back in time to a bygone era of folk entertainment. The Schafer Midget Circus Troupe was just one of many traveling shows that crisscrossed Europe during the early 20th century, providing a source of amusement and fascination for people of all ages. While the portrayal of little people in sideshows has been the subject of much debate and controversy in more recent times, it's important to remember that, for many, these performances offered a rare opportunity to see people with differences up close and personal, and to celebrate their unique abilities and talents. This evocative postcard image serves as a poignant reminder of a time when the world seemed just a little bit more magical.
