Description
Entitled "Mrs. Anthony C. Woeckener of Erie, Pennsylvania, better known as Chiquita, The Doll Queen" seated on arm of chair, with a normal size young man standing alongside. Chiquita, The Doll Queen was born in either Cuba or Mexico. She was an entertainer with the traveling Bostock-Ferari Carnival. Some suspect her 1901 marriage at age 31 to 17 year old Woeckener was done for publicity. Chiquita was a hit at the Pan-American Exposition in 1901. She was noted for wearing beautiful clothing and jewelry during her singing and dancing routines. She was intelligent and spoke several languages. Photographed by Ridenour, 1904.
