Charles Stratton and Lavinia Warren"General and Mrs. Tom Thumb""The Reception"
Lithograph, I believe this was part of a series . This card is entitled "The Reception". Good condition, edges have been cut on the diagonal (this was likely in an cabinet card album and the corners were cut to better fit the album holders).
Stratton's marriage in 1863, to Lavinia Warren also a little person, became front-page news. The wedding took place at Grace Episcopal Church, and the wedding reception was held at New York City's Metropolitan Hotel. The couple stood atop a grand piano at the reception to greet some 10,000 guests. The best man at the wedding was George Washington Morrison ("Commodore") Nutt, another dwarf performer in Barnum's employ. The maid of honor was Minnie Warren, Lavinia's sister. Following the wedding, the couple was received by President Lincoln at the White House. Stratton and his wife toured together in Europe as well as British India, in particular the area that would later become Bangladesh.
Thanks for looking!
