STRATTON WEDDING, 1863 - A Timeless Love Story Captured in Sepia
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This sepia-toned print takes us back to a historic moment in time - the wedding of Charles Sherwood Stratton and Lavinia Warren Bumpus. On February 10,1863, Grace Church in New York City witnessed the union of this extraordinary couple. Charles Sherwood Stratton, famously known as General Tom Thumb due to his short stature, found love in the arms of Lavinia Warren Bumpus. The image showcases their undeniable bond and radiates with pure affection. As Mathew Brady skillfully captured this intimate ceremony, we are transported into an interior filled with warmth and joy. The photograph reveals a mid-19th century Episcopal priest reading from a book while officiating the marriage. Surrounding them are family members and friends who came together to celebrate their union. Despite their physical differences, these two souls proved that love knows no boundaries or limitations. Lavinia looks resplendent in her elegant wedding dress while Charles stands proudly by her side as her groom. Their smiles reflect not only their happiness but also serve as a testament to their resilience against societal norms. This print is more than just an artistic masterpiece; it immortalizes a remarkable love story that defied expectations and inspired countless others throughout history. It reminds us that true love transcends appearances and teaches us that beauty lies within our hearts' depths rather than external features
