A Charming Moment in Tiny Town History: A Tiny Cabby and His Passenger at Victoria Station This photograph, taken at the turn of the twentieth century, showcases a unique moment in the history of Tiny Town, a miniature world exhibition that captivated audiences in West London. The image, taken at Victoria Station during the Tiny Town exhibition at Olympia in 1909, features a midget cabby and his passenger, both dressed in period attire, stepping out of a tiny horse-drawn carriage. The cabby, with his flat cap perched atop his head, dons a traditional cabby coat and holds the reins of his miniature horse, while his passenger, a small woman in a Victorian-era dress, looks on with a sense of excitement and wonder. The station's grand architecture serves as an impressive backdrop to this charming scene, with the steam trains and bustling activity of the station adding to the sense of energy and movement. The Tiny Town exhibition, which showcased miniature replicas of buildings, vehicles, and people, was a popular attraction for visitors to the Olympia Trade Fair. The exhibition, which ran from 1908 to 1910, provided a glimpse into a world of intricate detail and meticulous craftsmanship. This photograph, with its candid moment of everyday life in Tiny Town, offers a rare and fascinating glimpse into this historical event. The photograph, from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a testament to the enduring appeal of miniature worlds and the human connection to the past. It invites us to imagine the stories of the people who brought Tiny Town to life and to marvel at the skill and creativity of the artisans who crafted this miniature world. This photograph is not only a historical document but also a reminder of the power of imagination and the joy of exploring the world in miniature.
