EDITORS COMMENTS
"Phenomenon on Display: Rosa-Josepha, Siamese Sisters Presented at the Theatre de la Gaite in Paris in 1891. Engraving by Meyer featured on the back cover of PETIT JOURNAL supplement illustre n¡ 32, July 4th, 1891". This print captures a remarkable spectacle from the past - the extraordinary Rosa-Josepha, conjoined twins who graced the stage at the renowned Theatre de la Gaite in Paris. The engraving by Meyer showcases their unique physicality and raises intriguing questions about their identity. With two heads, two torsos, two hearts, four arms, and four legs intertwined as one entity; they possess only a single digestive system. The accompanying text ponders whether they are one or two individuals and emphasizes that despite their shared existence, they can only have one husband. The image invites viewers to contemplate this enigma of nature and challenges societal norms surrounding marriage and individuality. It leaves us wondering about their lives beyond the spotlight - how did they navigate daily tasks? How did they experience love and companionship? As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured by Gusman/Leemage with great detail and precision for posterity's sake; it serves as a reminder of human curiosity towards those who defy conventional boundaries. Patrice Cartier's preservation of this artwork ensures that future generations can appreciate not only its artistic value but also reflect on our collective fascination with exceptional beings like Rosa-Josepha.
