EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the extraordinary lives of Charles Sherwood Stratton, famously known as General Tom Thumb, and his wife Mercy Lavinia Warren Bump, also recognized as Mrs. Tom Thumb. Both performers and dwarves, they were icons in the world of entertainment during the 19th century. The image showcases their diminutive stature but radiates an undeniable sense of confidence and poise. Standing side by side in full-length attire, they exude a theatrical aura that hints at their successful careers on stage. Their costumes are meticulously detailed, reflecting the glamour associated with show business. Photographed by A Bogardus in New York using albumen printing techniques, this historical artifact measures 14.7x10 cm. Preserved within the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts, it serves as a testament to America's rich cultural heritage. Charles and Mercy's story is one of love intertwined with fame; their partnership both on and off stage captivated audiences across North America. This portrait immortalizes them not only as performers but also as husbands and wives who defied societal norms. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of the power of resilience and determination to overcome adversity while leaving an indelible mark on history.
