I believe it is #208, 209 or 210. It shows the Countess standing in between the Baron and Count and she has her hands on the Count's shoulders. I have found other images' values online, but I cannot seem to find the value of this particular cabinet card. Could you help? Thank you. We also have a bunch of tintype photos of unknown people. They were found in an abandoned house in the woods in Maine. Would you have any idea of what a value would be on these?

Sealo was was billed as Sealo the Seal Boy and Sealo the Seal Man. His was real name was Stanislaus "Stanley" Berent. He was born in 1899 with a deformity known as as phocomelia (literally "seal arms"). The banner would have been hung outside the side show tent with a line of other banners which would promote the other attractions in the side show.
