EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intriguing figure of Jo-Jo the Dog-Faced Boy, born Fedor Jeftichejev in Russia. The image captures a souvenir booklet cover from Barnum & Baileys Circus in 1885, depicting Jo-Jo's unique appearance and his dream of performing for the tsar. Despite achieving great success as an entertainer, it is fascinating to note that Jo-Jo never had the opportunity to showcase his talents before the tsar himself. This engraving on the booklet cover serves as a poignant reminder of this unfulfilled aspiration. The photograph transports us back in time to witness one of history's most renowned freak show performers. Jo-Jo's face, covered with thick hair due to a condition called hirsutism, is both mesmerizing and thought-provoking. It invites us to reflect on society's perception of beauty and acceptance during that era. As we delve into this snapshot from late 19th-century Russia, we are reminded of Barnum & Bailey's Circus' reputation as "The Greatest Show on Earth". The circus was known for its ability to captivate audiences with extraordinary acts like Jo-Jo's. This print by The Granger Collection allows us to appreciate not only Jo-Jo's uniqueness but also his resilience and determination in pursuing his dreams despite societal prejudices. It stands as a testament to human diversity and reminds us that true talent knows no boundaries or limitations.
