Albumen stereoview depicting General Tom Thumb (Charles S. Stratton) standing beside a uniformed military figure. Stratton is shown posed on a pedestal, wearing formal attire with vest and bow tie. The uniformed figure wears a plumed helmet and ceremonial sash, creating a deliberate contrast in scale.

Mount inscription reads “General Tom Thumb in his 20th year, March 25th 1864.” Additional manuscript on mount references Charles S. Stratton and P. T. Barnum. Reverse blank aside from later collector notation.

A clear Civil War era stereoview of Charles S. Stratton, known professionally as General Tom Thumb, one of P. T. Barnum’s most famous performers. Important little person exhibition photography with direct Barnum association.
