Barnum Framed Circus Print Tom Thumb Taken From Daguerreotype By John Plumbe

Posted on March 12, 2023 by admin

RARE – FRAMED CIRCUS PRINT “GENERAL TOM THUMB” TAKEN FROM DAGUERREOTYPE BY JOHN PLUMBE – You are considering a wonderful framed limited edition print from the mid-1800’s by Currier and entered into Congress in 1849. The central image of General Tom Thumb as a child standing on an ornate chair was taken from a daguerreotype by the legendary John Plumbe. You can view this information in my detailed listing photos. What makes this print exceptional in my opinion is the color additions to the print and the surrounding images of Tom Thumb dressed in various costumes of the characters he portrayed in his performances. On a historical note… General Tom Thumb was one of the most successful circus performers during the 19th Century around the world. The General was actually the cousin of P. Good luck to all my fellow early American circus collectors landing this rarely offered image. CONDITION: Please view my detailed scan for the actual condition of the image and as part of my description. Bo th the original print and frame are in excellent antique condition. The actual print and coloration remains boldly printed. The print has some minor wear and with a bit of staining seen near the bottom portion of the print. The frame has minor wear, was re-backed many years ago and has newer hardware to hang the image. I have included the last two listing photos to show the dimensions of the framed artwork. Overall, you are considering a rare 19th Century circus print containing Barnum’s largest grossing attraction during his lifetime, Mr. Charles Stratton aka Tom Thumb. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Photographic Images\Photographs”. The seller is “nic-o-matic” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped worldwide.
