SUMMARY
In the mid-1800s, inveterate showman/salesman P. T. Barnum introduced a real-life Tom Thumb and spawned a huge movement of midget exhibits. Little people were paraded en masse throughout Europe and the New World, earning fame and fortune as the central attractions in a freak show phenomenon that lasted well over a century. Explore this little world in postcard mementoes from an era when the unabashedly curious feasted their eyes on the unusual.Skinner, Tina is the author of 'Midget Exhibit Images from the Heyday of Dwarf Display', published 2004 under ISBN 9780764321146 and ISBN 0764321145.
