EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the tragic story of Saartje Baartman, also known as The Hottentot Venus. A young African servant girl brought to London in 1810 and exhibited there and in Paris, where she ultimately died in 1815. Her body was preserved after her death, adding another layer of exploitation to her already heartbreaking tale.
Saartje's story is a stark reminder of the historical mistreatment and objectification of African individuals during this time period. She was paraded around like a spectacle for European audiences, reduced to nothing more than a curiosity due to her physical appearance.
Despite the passage of time, Saartje's legacy lives on as a symbol of racial injustice and colonial exploitation. Her story serves as a poignant reminder of the need for empathy, understanding, and respect towards all individuals regardless of their background or appearance.
Through this print from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are confronted with the harsh realities faced by individuals like Saartje Baartman in history. It is essential that we remember these stories and strive towards creating a more equitable and just society for all.
