Title	Olof Krarer's "Greenland, or Life in the Frozen North" lecture advertisement
Place	Zanesville (Ohio); Muskingum County (Ohio)
Description	The lecture was to be held at Memorial Hall on February 17, 1893. The advertisement also includes background information about Olof Krarer, newspaper articles praising her lectures and two pictures. Krarer was known as "the Esquimaux Lady" and claimed to have been from Greenland, where she lived with a community of other dwarves. In reality, Krarer was from Iceland and the community in Greenland never existed. She was exposed for her deception in 1892, but this did not hurt her career and she continued to give lectures and performances of "native" songs and dances until her death in 1935.
