EDITORS COMMENTS
This gelatin silver photo, taken by Jessie Tarbox Beals between 1915 and 1922, transports us to the vibrant streets of Greenwich Village in New York City. The image features a peculiar figure known as Tiny Tim, who stands at the corner of 6th Avenue and Milligan Place. Despite his slight stature, Tiny Tim exudes an undeniable charm that is accentuated by his choice of attire - sandals and a long necklace. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see Tiny Tim holding packaged candies while standing in the doorway of his store. A plaque proudly advertises his confectionery delights under the name "Tiny Tims Toothsome Tandies". It's fascinating how such a small individual can create such an impact with his entrepreneurial spirit. The photograph not only captures the essence of social life and customs during this era but also serves as a testament to human resilience and creativity. Through this lens, we glimpse into a world where even those considered unconventional or different could carve out their own space within society. As we examine this gelatin silver print from Beals' collection at the New-York Historical Society, it becomes evident that Tiny Tim's presence was more than just about selling sweets; he symbolized uniqueness amidst conformity. This image invites us to reflect on our own perceptions of what it means to be seen and accepted for who we truly are.
