After lots of researching, I believe this is a cabinet card photograph of Francesco Lentini (Francisco, Frank) the Three-legged wonder. Underneath the picture it says: The Edena Studio- Chas.E.Ridenour- Edena Carbona Finish- Ridenour Process- 915 Arch Street Phila. Pa. There is nothing stamped or written on the back of the card. I haven't been able to find anything out about this photo and haven't seen another one like it on the internet. In fact, I couldn't find a lot of photos of this man even though, from what his biographies claimed, he was one of the most well-known sideshow characters. I would love to know more about this photo if anyone has any information or knowledge, and possibly a value. I am sure it is original. There were other circus related photographs in the box as well, a few were Charles Eisenmann. I look forward to hearing some responses. :)
