1863 Dwarf Gown Hoop Skirt Lavinia Midget Stratton Thumb Tom Thumb Warren Wife Bumpus


EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1863 showcases the remarkable Lavinia Warren Bumpus, famously known as Mrs. General Tom Thumb. As an English dwarf, she became a prominent figure in the entertainment industry during the mid-19th century. The image captures her in all her elegance and charm, dressed in a stunning gown that reflects the fashion trends of that era. Lavinia's petite stature is emphasized by her husband, Charles Stratton (aka General Tom Thumb), who stands beside her. Despite their small physical size, they commanded attention wherever they went and captivated audiences with their performances. The intricate details of Lavinia's hoop skirt add to the grandeur of this engraving. It symbolizes not only the fashion style of that time but also represents how she defied societal expectations and embraced her uniqueness with pride. Beyond being recognized for their extraordinary appearances, Lavinia and Charles were deeply devoted to each other. This wood engraving immortalizes Lavinia as more than just a midget or novelty act; it portrays her as a woman who found love and companionship amidst fame and curiosity. As we admire this historical print from Granger Art on Demand, we are reminded of Lavinia Warren Bumpus' significant contribution to popular culture during an era when acceptance was hard-won for those considered different by society's standards.
