These were taken by American tourist Murray Howe in 1909, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cranewoods/sets/72157626191454674/with/5451690594/">posted to flickr</a> in 2011 by his great grandson Andrew Howe V of Atlantic Beach, Florida. These images almost have the feeling of Lewis Hine in Czarist Russia (with all the documentation of street people and child vendors) but in this case rather than backdrops of the burgeoning American capitalist juggernaut, you see the empty grandeur of Imperial Russia.

The father is 23 years of age. Willie Graham (his tiny doppelganger) is 5 years of age, and Herbert Graham is 3 years of age. According to Edward F. Brown, an investigator into early child labor practices, "At 9 P.M. on June 10th, 1910, these children were performing on the stage. Four times daily they do a turn which lasts from 12 to 14 minutes. Herbert Graham, the youngest, was said by the father to have commenced performing on the stage as a[n] acrobat when he was 10 months of age. Willie, now 5, is said to be the youngest acrobat in the world. The mother of these boys was formerly a school teacher, and is now performing with this trio on the stage. The children are bright and strong, but have a playfulness about them which <b style="font-weight: normal;">shows</b> them to have forgotten the best years of childhood." Photo by Lewis W.
