EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the extraordinary figure of Charles Sherwood Stratton, better known by his stage name Tom Thumb, as he proudly rides in his miniature pony carriage. Born in 1838, Tom Thumb grew to a height of just 3 feet, earning him a place in the annals of history as one of the most famous individuals with dwarfism. Tom Thumb's career began in 1844 when he was discovered by the legendary circus pioneer, P.T. Barnum. Barnum saw great potential in Tom Thumb's unique size and extraordinary abilities, and the two formed a partnership that would bring Tom Thumb fame and fortune. Tom Thumb's act included riding a miniature horse-drawn carriage, playing cards, and performing various other feats of agility and dexterity. He was a sensation, and audiences were captivated by his tiny stature and remarkable abilities. This photograph, taken circa 1860, shows Tom Thumb in his prime, surrounded by his attendants, who helped him navigate the world as a person of small stature. Tom Thumb's life was not without controversy, as some criticized him for being exploited as a freak show exhibit. However, Tom Thumb himself saw his role in the circus as a means of providing for himself and his family, and he remained proud of his accomplishments. Tom Thumb's legacy continues to inspire and fascinate people to this day, and this photograph is a testament to his enduring place in history as a remarkable and fascinating figure. This image is available as a high-resolution print from Mary Evans Prints Online, and is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of circus, oddities, or human peculiarities.
