Description
Photograph of Charles S. Stratton and M Lavinia Warren taking their vows at Grace Church. Warren stands on the left center, Stratton right center. To Warren\u2019s side is Minnie Warren, her sister, to Stratton's is George Washington Morris Nutt. A priest stands in the center of the photo, and Stratton and Warren hold hands. Held on February 10, 1863 at Grace Episcopal Church in New York City, the marriage of Charles S. Stratton - known as General Tom Thumb - and M. Lavinia Warren was also called the Fairy Wedding. It featured not only Charles and Lavinia tying the knot, but fellow Barnum performers and little people George Washington Morris Nutt - known as Commodore Nutt - and Minnie Warren - Lavinia\u2019s sister - as the best man and maid of honor respectively. The wedding was promoted relentlessly by P.T. Barnum, and made into a major social event on scale with contemporary celebrity weddings. There was extensive merchandising, especially photographs and illustrations of the wedding party. Mathew Brady, 1863. Measures 2.5 by 4.25 inches.
