Description
USA American Dwarfs Count Magri Lavinia Warren at BARNUM CIRCUS SIDE SHOW Count and Countess Magri CABINET CARD ca. 1890s This is an original item of the period, not a reproduction, not a recent print, not a postcard. Image size is approximately 6.25 x 4 inches. General Tom Thumb was the stage name of Charles Sherwood Stratton (January 4, 1838 – July 15, 1883), a midget who achieved great fame under circus pioneer P.T. Barnum. Lavinia Warren (1841 – 1919) was an American dwarf and the wife of General Tom Thumb. Lavinia and her younger sister Huldah Pierce Warren Bump had a form of proportionate dwarfism (considered to be desirable by sideshows and "museums" of that era owing to its perfectly miniaturized characteristics, with the same proportions as common larger people) caused by a pituitary disorder which seemingly occurs when close relatives (cousins) descended of identically replicating DNA (twins) produce offspring. "Count Primo Magri" and "Count Rosebud" were stage names of a 19th century little person who married Lavinia Warren, the widow of General Tom Thumb. Magri's supposedly twin brother, also a little person, used the stage names "Baron Magri" and "Baron Littlefinger". Created by eBay Blackthorne ver. 3.2.151.0
