In literature, we find references to these diminutive figures like 'The King of Brobdingnag and Gulliver, ' published by Hannah Humphrey in 1803. Step right up to the circus with a captivating American circus poster from c1910 featuring Singers Midgets. But it's not just fiction and entertainment that showcases the allure of midgets; even real-life events have left their mark. Take a peek into Portsmouth Harbour's submarine depot, where British midget submarines like HMS Excelsior played significant roles. The Golliwoggs Bicycle Club transports us to an intriguing era surrounded by cannibals. Delve deeper into personal stories as we encounter Lavinia Warren Bumpus, an extraordinary woman who defied societal norms during her lifetime (1841-1919). And let's not forget about love - behold a studio portrait capturing the charm and connection between a married midget couple from the early 1900s. Intriguingly diverse yet united by their unique stature, these glimpses into history remind us that greatness comes in all sizes. Whether it be through classic cars or literary masterpieces, circus spectacles or wartime heroics, midgets have left an indelible mark on our collective imagination.
