From Google AI: This image shows an antique 19th-century carte de visite featuring Waino and Plutanor, famously known as the "Wild Men of Borneo". Billed under theatrical names by P.T. Barnum and other showmen, they performed under a fictional backstory despite standing around 42 inches tall and possessing great physical strength. The bottom mount reads "WAINO AND PLUTANOR. Weight about 45 pounds. Age over 50 years," which was typical exaggerated promotional text used by 19th-century traveling sideshows. Re: Civil war tax stamp -The "Playing Cards" Error/Usage: Due to shortages at the time, photographers rarely had the dedicated "Photograph" stamps on hand. Instead, they used whatever proprietary revenue stamps they could find, such as this 2-cent blue George Washington "Playing Cards" stamp. Re: studio: The Lake Street studio was in the center of the Chicago commerce district and was completely destroyed in the 1871 Chicago fire.
