EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating print captures the enigmatic figure of Krao, known as "the Hairy Girl," who was brought from Burma to London in 1883 at the tender age of 6 or 7. At that time, some people speculated that she could be the missing link between apes and men due to her incredibly hairy appearance. However, it was soon discovered that Krao was simply a very hairy girl, not a paranormal or supernatural being.
Despite the initial misconceptions about her origins, Krao's story is a reminder of how easily people can jump to conclusions based on appearances alone. In reality, she was just an ordinary human being with an extraordinary amount of hair.
This historical image offers us a glimpse into a time when oddities and curiosities were put on display for public entertainment. It serves as a reminder of our tendency to label and categorize those who are different from ourselves without truly understanding their unique circumstances.
Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this intriguing piece of history for future generations to ponder and reflect upon. Let us remember Krao not as a sideshow spectacle, but as a young girl whose humanity transcends any physical abnormalities she may have possessed.
