EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing advert from the 19th century, promoting the appearance of a remarkable individual named Lalloo. The engraving, part of the Peter Jackson Collection in a private collection, takes us back to October 1887 when Lalloo was exhibited at Nottingham Fair. Lalloo, a seventeen-year-old Indian boy with two bodies and one head, became the center of attention during this extraordinary event held at Exeter Hall in London. His unique physical condition fascinated audiences who flocked to witness his presence firsthand. This advertisement served as a testament to the curiosity and wonder that surrounded Lalloo's appearance. The image captures not only the excitement surrounding this spectacle but also sheds light on society's fascination with unusual phenomena during that era. It reminds us of how entertainment took various forms throughout history and how people were captivated by what they perceived as "freaks" or anomalies. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into an important chapter in both cultural and social history. It serves as a reminder of our ever-evolving understanding and acceptance towards diversity while also highlighting how perceptions have changed over time. As we reflect upon this image from Fine Art Finder's Bridgeman Images collection, it is essential to approach it with sensitivity and respect for those involved. Let us appreciate its historical significance while recognizing the importance of embracing differences in today's world.
