English: Fig. 28. - Group of dwarfs showing features of ateleiosis. Compare with group of dwarfs with ordinary infantilism (Fig. 22). The features are those of stereotyped childhood. Hence the stature is small, the limbs short, the head large. and the face broad and flat; the bridge of the nose is undeveloped, and the distance from the ear to the vertex is comparatively great. The facial type is so well defined in some cases (Nos. 5, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16) as to obliterate the natural expression of character and produce a strong resemblance between dwarfs of different families. But added to these childish features are the lines and superficial markings of age. In the case of No. 9 there is facial hair, and in at least four others (Nos. 6, 11, 14, 15) there was evidence of sexual maturity. All these dwarfs have been exhibited in variety shows, and are, or were, of good intelligence. The most noteworthy of the group are Charles Stratton (No. 14), who was known as Tom Thumb, and his wife (No. 15) Lavinia Warren. Minnie Warren (No. 11), sister of Lavinia, married George Washington Nutt (No. 10), who died in 1881 at the age of 33 years. No. 9 is known as Baron Magri. Brouwlaski (No. 6) was born in Poland in 1739, and died at Durham in 1837, aged 98 years. The photograph is from a portrait in oils in the Hunterian Museum of London. No. 3 is the French dwarf described on p. 605; and No. 17 is described on Rossow; No. 4 is Annie Nelson, and No. 16 the mulatto known as Chiquita. Fig. 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, are from photographs by the London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company. |
