Two performers from the Singer Midgets troupe, Louis Vashek and Dora Vieg, are the subjects of this glass negative, dated November 3, 1924, and made by the National Photo Company. The Singer Midgets toured in vaudeville and circus-style shows during the 1920s, and posed pictures like this one were often used to promote acts and draw newspaper attention. The glass plate has streaks and blemishes from the natural breakdown of its original coating, which can soften fine detail in the figures and backdrop.
