Above, printed title that appears on verso of Carte D'Visite


At the time this early Carte D'Visite was taken, Miss Akers was known at Caroline, and was appearing at Norman's Dime Museum. Her 36-Inch height is further exaggerated by placing her next to a small table and chair.

Her weight is not advertised, as she was yet to have gained the poundage that made her a double draw in her later years (See next photo).
