EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Advert for the appearance of two extraordinary individuals" offers a glimpse into the world of curiosity and spectacle that existed in 19th-century London. The print showcases John Hauptmann, a 32-year-old man standing at only 36 inches tall, and Little Nanette, a woman aged 33 but measuring just 33 inches in height. Displayed prominently on an advertisement board at 123 New Bond Street, this advert aimed to draw crowds to witness these remarkable individuals up close. It is evident that their unique physical attributes were seen as both fascinating and unusual during this era. The image raises questions about deformity and illness within society's perception. While it may be tempting to view them solely through the lens of freakishness or spectacle, one cannot ignore the underlying medical implications associated with their conditions. This engraving serves as a reminder of how medicine and healthcare have evolved over time. Moreover, it sheds light on societal attitudes towards those who deviated from conventional norms of physical appearance. In an age where infectious diseases like flu or sexually transmitted diseases were prevalent yet poorly understood, people often associated physical abnormalities with contagious ailments. As we contemplate this intriguing piece from Fine Art Finder's collection by Bridgeman Images, let us reflect upon our own perceptions of difference and celebrate the progress made in understanding diversity within our society today.
