Robert Owen Melvin (1920-1995)
This was clearly some sort of publicity photo for a circus sideshow.
Over the years I've purchased and collected old photos from second-hand shops and antique dealers. This is a shot from my collection. If you have any insights or observations, please comment.

I did some small, cosmetic clean-up retouches in photoshop.
Any comments or observations are much appreciated!
