In this photograph, Nikolai Wassiljewittsch Kobelkoff, the renowned Russian freak show star and impresario, is seen posing with his family. Born in Wossnesensk, Siberia, Russia, in 1851, Kobelkoff's life took an extraordinary turn when he became a part of the world of exhibitions and sideshows in Austria during the late 19th century. The image portrays Kobelkoff, who was a limbless performer, with his wife Anna Wilfert, a Viennese woman, and their six children. Their public wedding took place in Budapest in the same year they met, 1875. The family's joyful expression and the children's playful demeanor contrast the intriguing and often controversial nature of their father's profession.
