EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Moung Phoset, a male member of the Sacred Hairy Family of Burma, whose extraordinary hypertrichosis spanned over an astonishing five generations. Published in 1887 by Ilustracion Artistica, this archival image sheds light on the historical significance of this medical condition. Hypertrichosis is characterized by an abnormal amount of hair growth all over the body, and Moung Phoset's appearance truly exemplifies its remarkable manifestation. In 1888, PT Barnum exhibited the Hairy Family as freaks during a season in the UK and embarked on a brief tour across the United States. The photograph not only serves as a visual record but also offers insight into how society viewed individuals with unique physical attributes during the 19th century. The Sacred Hairy Family's inclusion in exhibitions highlights both their status as curiosities and their exploitation for public entertainment. As we explore this illustration from our historical archive, it is crucial to approach it with sensitivity and respect towards those who were subjected to such displays. This image stands as a reminder of our progress in understanding medical conditions like hypertrichosis while acknowledging past practices that may have caused harm or perpetuated stereotypes. By examining artifacts like these, we gain valuable insights into our collective history and foster discussions about empathy and inclusivity today.
