EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in London in 1898, showcases Waino and Plutaino, two of the famous 'Wild Men of Borneo' who were part of P.T. Barnum's travelling circus. The Wild Men of Borneo were an intriguing group of indigenous Bornean men who were brought to the Western world as exotic curiosities. Dressed in loincloths and adorned with body paint and feathers, they captivated audiences with their unique physical appearance and traditional dances. The image of Waino and Plutaino, captured during their time in Europe, offers a glimpse into the past of an intriguing historical moment. The men are shown standing side by side, their expressions serious and unsmiling, as they gaze out at the camera. Their dark skin, contrasted against the light background, adds to the sense of mystery and allure that surrounded them. At the time, the idea of travelling circuses was still a relatively new concept, and the inclusion of exotic performers like the Wild Men of Borneo added an element of excitement and adventure to the shows. The men were imported from Borneo, a far-off land that few in the Western world had ever seen or heard of. Their presence in Europe represented a bridge between cultures, a way for people to experience something new and different. Today, this photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history of travelling circuses and the role they played in bringing the world closer together. It also highlights the complex and often problematic history of the exploitation of indigenous peoples for entertainment purposes. Regardless, the image of Waino and Plutaino remains a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era, a time when the unknown and the exotic held a powerful allure.
