VERY RARE & EARLY CIRCUS CDV PHOTO OF ELI BOWEN – THE WONDERFUL MAN WITH NO LEGS. Here Eli was posed proudly on a pedestal and sporting his great physique. He was known for his incredible strength and tumbling abilities. Bowen suffered from his birth defects, he was commonly known as, The most handsome man in show business. Please view the backside of the mount to read that Eli was currently performing at Norman’s Museum. CONDITION : Please view my detailed photos for the actual condition of this item and as part of my description. The CDV retains softer contrast, but remains sharply captured. There is a single brown spot on Eli’s arm as the only imperfection I can find. The mount is in near mint condition and the back stamp is quite bold as well as unique.
