EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the memorable and unique marriage ceremony of General Mite, whose real name was Francis Joseph Flynn, and Miss Millie Edwards, held at St. James Hall in Manchester, England, in December 1884. Both Flynn and Edwards were renowned midgets, standing at only 22 inches and 19 and a half inches tall respectively. The couple had gained significant fame and fortune by touring America and Europe as showmen. The intricately detailed engraving depicts a series of scenes from their wedding day, with the first image showing the excited crowd gathered outside St. James Hall, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the bride and groom. The second scene captures the couple exchanging vows in front of a beautifully decorated altar, surrounded by their family and friends. The final scene shows the newlyweds leaving the hall, waving to their well-wishers as they embark on their new life together. This historical engraving provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of these extraordinary individuals and the unique world of Victorian-era midget shows. It is a testament to the enduring power of love and the human spirit, despite the challenges and limitations that life may present. The importance of this image lies not only in its visual appeal but also in the valuable insights it offers into a little-known chapter of history. This engraving, originally published by the Illustrated London News on July 19, 1884, is a must-have for anyone interested in social history, Victorian culture, or the lives of extraordinary individuals.
