1863BB055Original carte-de-visite photographs of Charles Sherwood Stratton better known by his stage name "General Tom Thumb" a dwarf who achieved great fame as a performer under circus pioneer P. T. Barnum here photographed with his wife Lavinia Warren AUTOGRAPHED in Stratton's handwriting on verso <i>"Genl Tom Thumb & Mrs Tom Thumb - 1863 August"</i>. The couple were married in February 1863 for which it is said President Lincoln hosted them with a reception at the White House. The 2nd picture of the Strattons in their wedding costumes also a picture of their best man and bridesmaid Commodore Nutt and Minnie Warren Lavinia's sister and the wedding party together all in especially fine condition with dark brown hues each having facsimile autographs on the verso by their subjects. In addition an 1865 photograph of "Gen. Tom Thumb Wife and Child" verso blank. Altogether 5 carte-de-visite original mounted photographs the first with imprint verso backboard of Charles D Fredericks & Co 587 Broadway New York then three "from photographic Negative by Matthew Brady" imprinted by E & H T Anthony 501 Broadway the last by J Hall junction York and Fulton Sts Brooklyn.<br /><p>Born in Bridgeport 1838 to parents who were of medium height Charles was a relatively large baby weighing 9 pounds 8 ounces 4.3 kg at birth. He developed and grew normally for the first six months of his life at which point he was 25 inches 64 cm tall and weighed 15 pounds 6.8 kg. Then he suddenly stopped growing. By late 1842 4 years old Stratton had grown only one inch additional though his body was proportionate and functional. The showman Phineas T. Barnum heard about Stratton and after making arrangements with his parents taught the boy how to sing dance mime and impersonate famous people. He toured America and Europe in 1845 during which time his performances marked a turning point in the history of freak show entertainment. Prior to Stratton's debut the presentation of "human curiosities" for the purpose of entertainment was deemed dishonorable and seen as an unpleasing carnival attraction. However after viewers were introduced to Stratton and performances he was able to change the perception people held toward freak shows. Stratton's lively entertainments made these types of carnival shows one of the most favored forms of theatre in the United States.</p><p>His marriage to Lavinia Warren also a little person became front-page news. The wedding took place at Grace Episcopal Church and the wedding reception was held at New York City's Metropolitan Hotel. The couple stood atop a grand piano at the reception to greet some 10000 guests. Rare to find a vintage picture of the couple dated and inscribed so early in their marriage and nice companion images inscriptions on three other pictures are in facsimile handwriting.<br /></p><p><br /></p> books

Softcover measuring 8.5" in height and bound with a single piece of thread at the center which is likely very fragile because of its age. The exterior shows fading along the edges particularly the front. There's also small folds and tears present. The top of the front also shows original owner information. The first page on the interior has some creases and crimps which is also present on the additional pages. Paper is darkened due to age and the quality of paper used. This is a rare piece of ephemera of this Pennsylvania performer and may be the only surviving copy. <br/> <br/> Erie Show Printing Company paperback
