EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Now exhibiting at The Universum (engraving)" by the English School in the 19th century showcases a truly remarkable sight. Housed in a private collection, this image takes us back to an era when curiosity and spectacle reigned supreme. Displayed at The Universum on Oxford Street in London, this engraving captures the attention of all who pass by. At its center stands Miss C Heenan, an extraordinary woman known as the great prize lady. Adorned with four impressive prize cups, she is not only celebrated for her accomplishments but also for her astonishing physical attributes. Measuring 26 inches round her arms, 3 feet 6 inches across the shoulders, and an astounding 7 feet round her body, Miss C Heenan weighs a staggering 40 stone. She holds the title of being the heaviest living female at that time – a true marvel of nature. Intriguingly enough, this image sheds light on society's fascination with unusual phenomena during that period. It serves as both an advertisement and a testament to human diversity. Miss C Heenan becomes a symbol of strength and resilience despite societal norms surrounding weight and beauty. As we gaze upon this photograph print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of our ever-evolving perceptions of beauty and acceptance throughout history.
