No Binding. Condition: Collectible-Very Good. Original carte de visite photograph. 3 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches. No photographer, place or date. Tom Thumb (real name Charles Sherwood Stratton) was an American drarf exhibited by the promoter P.T. Barnum. In 1863 he married Lavinia Warren (real name Mercy Lavinia Bump).

16pp., sm. folio (9½ x 5¾ inches). Seven large hand-colored woodcut illustrations, these on leaves with blanks on the other sides, the first and last leaves pasted to the wrappers as issued. Original glazed green printed wrappers, the title and imprint above taken from the upper wrapper and with "March s Library of Instruction & Amusement 14. Price Sixpence," with advertisements for other titles in the series on the lower wrapper; sometime resewn through the original stab-holes and the whole perhaps sometime pressed, but an attractive and well-preserved copy. Apparently the only edition, almost certainly produced soon after the worldwide sensation caused by the wedding of the famous proportionate dwarfs General Tom Thumb and Lavinia Warren in 1863. The marriage was a true love match, even though the couple met while working for P.T. Barnum s circus, and Barnum made a fortune by their appearances: Lavinia s Wikipedia entry declares that "her affections belonged to General Tom Thumb from their first introduction." The sections here include, with hand-colored illustrations, "Little Tom s Courtship," "Going to Church," "Fairies Going to the Wedding," "Wedding Cake," "Tom Thumb s Wedding," "Regaling the Poor," and "The Lady-Bird." OCLC records three copies, at the British Library, Princeton, and UCLA.
