Coloured lithograph, size 390 x 290mm (15¼ x 11½"), with large margins.
A group portrait of an albino family: Rudolph Lucasie, with busy white hair and beard, wearing theatrical 'tribal' dress; his wife and daughter wearing western dresses; and his son, wearing skirt and tights, playing a violin. P. T. Barnum discovered the family in Amsterdam in 1857 and brought them to America to exhibit, billing them as Madagascans. They worked for him for three years, before joing another circus. They continued to tour the world until Rudulph and his wife died in 1898. The Caucasian features of the family in this print are confirmed by contemporay photographs.
