EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures the unusual spectacle of General Mite and Miss Millie, two German midgets who made headlines in London during the late 19th century. The image, taken in 1882, shows the pair standing side by side, their small statures contrasting against the backdrop of a grand Victorian interior. General Mite, with his military uniform and stern expression, appears authoritative and commanding, while Miss Millie, dressed in a frilly dress and holding a parasol, exudes a delicate and feminine charm. The presence of these two extraordinary individuals in London was a source of great fascination for the public, who flocked to see them on display. At the time, midgets, or little people as they were often referred to, were considered oddities and objects of curiosity. Their size and appearance were often sensationalized in the media, and they were often displayed in sideshows and freak shows. Despite the exploitative nature of their public appearances, it is believed that General Mite and Miss Millie were paid well for their performances and were treated with respect by their handlers. They were known to have traveled extensively throughout Europe and the United States, entertaining audiences with their unique acts and engaging personalities. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, when the unusual and the extraordinary were celebrated and displayed for all to see. It serves as a reminder of the fascination that humans have with the unusual and the unknown, and the enduring allure of the human spirit in all its forms.
