EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the 19th century showcases Thomas Hills Everett, an extraordinary baby who captured the attention of many during his short life. At just 11 months old, he already possessed the size and appearance of a seven-year-old child. The lithograph depicts Thomas alongside his mother in a tender moment, as they were featured in a handbill advertising his exhibition. Tragically, Thomas's remarkable existence was cut short when he passed away at only 18 months old between the years 1779-1780. This print is based on a stipple engraving by Robert Cooper and is featured in Henry Wilson and James Caulfields Book of Wonderful Characters, Memoirs and Anecdotes, of Remarkable and Eccentric Persons in all ages and countries. The image itself offers a glimpse into this unusual phenomenon that captivated society at the time. It serves as both an eerie curiosity and testament to human fascination with the strange and extraordinary. The composition highlights not only Thomas's immense size but also portrays him alongside his loving mother, emphasizing their bond amidst their unique circumstances. Preserved within this private collection, this lithograph provides us with a window into history—an intriguing snapshot of an individual whose brief existence left an indelible mark on those who encountered him. Through its intricate details and historical significance, this artwork invites viewers to ponder upon our collective fascination with anomalies while reminding us of the fragility inherent in even the most exceptional lives.
