EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "Madame Teresia, the Corsican Fairy, 1743-1790" by Robert Cooper depicts a fascinating figure from the 18th century. Madame Maria Teresa, also known as the Amazing Corsican Fairy, is shown alongside a normal-sized woman, highlighting her unique physical appearance. Born in Corsica in 1743, Madame Teresia gained fame through her exhibitions at fairs in England starting from 1770. By 1775, she had established herself in London and even performed on stage in Dublin and Edinburgh the following year. Her performances included dancing a minuet and a traditional Corsican jig. Tragically, Madame Teresia's life was cut short when she died during childbirth in 1790. This lithograph captures her extraordinary story and serves as a testament to her remarkable existence. The image is taken from Henry Wilson and James Caulfield's book of Wonderful Characters, Memoirs and Anecdotes of Remarkable and Eccentric Persons in all ages and countries published in London in 1869. The stipple engraving by Robert Cooper beautifully translates Madame Teresia's likeness onto paper. This print offers us a glimpse into an era where curiosity about deformities or illnesses was prevalent among audiences seeking entertainment. It reminds us of the diverse range of performers who captivated crowds with their talents despite societal prejudices. Overall, this lithograph invites viewers to delve into history while appreciating the resilience of individuals like Madame Teresia who defied expectations through their artistry.
