Annie Jones Bearded Lady Cabinet Card. New York: Eisenmann, ca. 1890. Cabinet card photo of Annie Jones, the most famous of all ?bearded ladies? exhibited by P.T. Barnum. Good. Jones began her career at the age of one, when her mother took her to New York to meet Barnum, who immediately hired her at $150 per week, in 1866. First presented as ?the Esau Child,? Jones adopted various stage names during her career. She appeared with Barnum and in various dime museums until her death at age 37 in 1902.
