EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a truly unique piece of history - Somebody's Luggage Miniature Wedding Album of Tom Thumb and Lavinia Warren. Created by renowned American photographer Mathew Brady in 1863, this brass photographic locket holds within it twelve exquisite miniature albumen prints. The tiny size of this locket, measuring just 2.7 x 2 x 1 cm, adds to its charm and intrigue. Each individual print measures a mere 2.3 x 2 cm, allowing for an intimate glimpse into the wedding ceremony of these famous individuals. Tom Thumb and Lavinia Warren were both well-known figures in their time; he being a celebrated dwarf performer and she his equally petite bride. Their union captured the public's imagination, making them one of the most beloved couples of the era. Through Brady's lens, we are transported back to that momentous day when love united two extraordinary souls. The delicate albumen prints capture every detail with remarkable clarity despite their diminutive size. As we gaze upon this precious memento from history, we can't help but marvel at how such a small object can hold so much significance. It serves as a testament to the power of photography to preserve moments that would otherwise be lost to time. This print is not only an artistic masterpiece but also a cherished artifact that allows us to connect with the past on an intimate level.
