EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing engraving of an advertisement for Dr. Kahn's Anatomical Museum, dating back to 27 July 1857. The museum was located at 4 Coventry Street in the heart of Leicester Square, London. The image depicts a fascinating array of attractions that were on display at this unique establishment. The advert features a variety of curiosities and oddities, drawing attention to the extraordinary spectacles that awaited visitors. Among them are Siamese twins, double-bodied individuals known as heteradelphs, and other remarkable anomalies that piqued the curiosity of Victorian society. In particular, one cannot help but be captivated by the presence of a young boy prominently featured in the advertisement. His innocent yet enigmatic gaze hints at both wonder and trepidation towards what lies within Dr. Kahn's Anatomical Museum. This engraving not only serves as a historical artifact but also offers us a glimpse into the fascination with human abnormalities during this era. It reminds us how perceptions have evolved over time while shedding light on our enduring curiosity about the mysteries hidden within our own bodies. Thanks to Fine Art Finder and Bridgeman Images for preserving this piece from English School in their private collection – allowing us to appreciate its cultural significance even today.
