The Little People of America 1971 is a limited edition portfolio of 24 photographic prints by the artist Les Krims. The project, which includes an essay by A. D. Coleman, features images from conventions of the Little People of America (LPA), an organization founded by actor Billy Barty. Krims aimed to portray the subjects as "normal" people, counteracting negative stereotypes of people with dwarfism prevalent at the time.
