EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating print captures the enigmatic figure of Krao, known as "the Hairy Girl," who was brought from Burma to London in 1883 at the age of about 6 or 7. At the time, some people speculated that she might be the missing link between apes and men, due to her incredibly hairy appearance. However, it was soon discovered that Krao was simply a very hairy girl, rather than a paranormal or evolutionary oddity.
Despite initial misconceptions about her origins and significance, Krao's story sheds light on how historical figures with unique physical characteristics were often sensationalized and misunderstood by society. In reality, she was just a young human girl with an unusual amount of body hair.
This print serves as a reminder of how perceptions of difference and otherness have shaped our understanding of history and humanity. It challenges us to question our assumptions about what makes someone "different" or "abnormal," and prompts us to consider the ways in which individuals like Krao have been marginalized throughout history.
Through this image from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are invited to reflect on the complexities of human identity and diversity, while also honoring the individuality and humanity of those who may have been viewed as outsiders in their own time.
