EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in history that defies societal norms and celebrates the beauty of love in all its forms. In this group portrait, we see the renowned General Tom Thumb and his wife, Lavinia Warren, alongside Commodore Nutt and Miss Minnie Warren. The year is 1863, a time when dwarfism was often exploited for entertainment purposes. Despite the challenges they faced as performers with unique physical characteristics, these individuals found solace in each other's company. General Tom Thumb and Lavinia Warren's wedding marked an extraordinary union between two remarkable souls who refused to let their stature define them. The image showcases the newlyweds surrounded by their loved ones on their special day. Lavinia's sister stands proudly beside her as maid of honor while Commodore Nutt assumes the role of best man. Dressed impeccably in elaborate costumes befitting their status as esteemed performers, this ensemble radiates joy and unity. Beyond being a mere circus act or spectacle for public amusement, this photograph reminds us that love knows no bounds. It serves as a testament to human resilience and determination to find happiness amidst adversity. Preserved by Currier & Ives' lithography technique from the 19th century, this print offers us a glimpse into an era where acceptance was hard-won but ultimately triumphed over prejudice. As we admire this historical gem from American Antiquarian Society's collection, let it serve as a reminder that true love transcends societal
