EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic presence of Feodor Jeftichew, famously known as Jo-Jo the Dog-faced Boy. Taken in the late 1890s, this portrait showcases a man whose unique appearance defied societal norms and fascinated audiences of his time. With his piercing gaze and distinctive features, Jo-Jo's face is covered in thick hair due to a condition called hirsutism. His dog-like resemblance earned him fame as an entertainer in carnivals and side shows during the turn of the century. The image allows us to glimpse into the world of oddities and curiosities that were prevalent at that time. The photographer has expertly captured Jo-Jo's intriguing persona, highlighting both his humanity and otherness simultaneously. It serves as a reminder that beauty comes in many forms, challenging conventional notions of attractiveness. Displayed by Granger Art on Demand, this print transports us back to an era when curiosity about human anomalies was met with awe rather than judgment. It invites viewers to contemplate our society's perception of difference throughout history. As we observe this remarkable portrait, let us appreciate not only its historical significance but also reflect upon our own attitudes towards those who may appear different from ourselves.
