EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Bearded Family, 1887" takes us back to a peculiar era of entertainment and curiosity. The image showcases the cover of a pamphlet for Barnum's Wonders, featuring an intriguing bearded man and woman. It is evident that this family possesses a unique physical characteristic - their impressive facial hair. The engraving captures the essence of this late 19th-century American side show with its detailed illustration. The bearded man proudly dons a stylish hat while his equally bearded wife stands beside him in an elegant dress adorned with a delicate necklace. Their faces are filled with confidence, challenging societal norms and embracing their hirsutism as something extraordinary. The text on the pamphlet suggests that these individuals were part of PT Barnum's famous circus troupe, known as "The Greatest Show on Earth". This fact adds another layer to their story, showcasing how they became entertainers who captivated audiences worldwide. Looking at this print evokes mixed emotions; it is both fascinating and strange to witness such unconventional beauty celebrated during that time period. It serves as a reminder that our perception of what is considered normal or weird can change over time. "The Bearded Family, 1887" offers us a glimpse into history where uniqueness was embraced rather than shunned. It reminds us to appreciate diversity in all its forms and challenges us to question our own preconceived notions about what defines beauty or normality.
