EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a truly extraordinary event at the World's Fair in 1923. Showmen at the Agricultural Hall gathered to celebrate the union of Mr. Robert Goudin, a dwarf, and Miss Ruby Trixy, one of the fair's renowned fat ladies. The stark contrast between their physical appearances only adds to the intrigue surrounding this peculiar wedding. Mr. Goudin, standing at just 3 feet tall and weighing a mere 3 stone, defies expectations with his choice of bride – Miss Trixy, who weighs an astounding 23 stone despite being only 21 years old. Their nuptials symbolize love transcending societal norms and embracing diversity. The image showcases two individuals who have found solace in each other's company amidst a world that often ostracizes those deemed different or unconventional. It serves as a reminder that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are transported back to an era where circus entertainers were revered for their eccentricities and celebrated for pushing boundaries. This photograph encapsulates both extremes – from Mr. Goudin's diminutive stature to Miss Trixy's remarkable size. Preserved by Central News, this piece of Europeana photography offers us a glimpse into an unforgettable moment filled with joyous celebration among these unique performers who captivated audiences with their extraordinary lives on display under the big top.
