Miami Florida Circus Troupe of Midget Performers Studio 1923 Real Photo Postcard
This postcard from Miami, Florida, dated 1923, depicts a group of six children and young adults, likely members of a traveling performance troupe or variety act. Dressed in formal stage attire ranging from suits to dresses, their appearance reflects the popular entertainment prevalent in American cities during the early 20th century, particularly in burgeoning tourist destinations like Miami.
The year 1923 falls squarely within Miami's dramatic "Land Boom," a period of explosive growth and speculation that transformed the city into a major winter resort and entertainment hub. The influx of tourists fueled a demand for vaudeville, theatrical performances, and other leisure activities, making child acts and family troupes a common feature of the local entertainment landscape.
