Postcard shows Warren and Primo Magri in a door frame, either entering or exiting a building. The building is said to be their residence at Midget City, Dreamland, Coney Island. Magri's signature on the left reads "Count Primo Magri, from Bologna Italy" and Warren's reads "Compliments M. L. Magri Mrs General Tom Thumb." Midget City, also called the Lilliputian Village, was a part of the Dreamland amusement park (1904-1911) at Coney Island where approximately three hundred little people lived and performed. It included a fire department, police force, and stables, as well as theaters. Mercy Lavinia Warren nee Bump (October 31, 1841-November 25, 1919), then Mercy Lavinia Magri, was a well known entertainer during the 1800s. She began her show business career on a river boat, as exhibiting those with dwarfism was profitable at the time. Warren signed with P.T. Barnum at age 21, along with her younger sister Minnie Warren, who also had dwarfism. Later on, Lavinia began to date fellow Barnum performer Charles S. Stratton (General Tom Thumb), and the two eventually wed. They worked and toured together as celebrities, and had a happy marriage. Following Stratton's death, Warren married Primo Magri, an Italian entertainer of a similar stature to Warren, on April 6, 1885. Magri and Warren operated a roadside stand in Middleboro, Mass. Warren died on November 25, 1919, and is buried besides Stratton at Mountain Grove Cemetery. Measures 5.5 by 3.5 inches.
