EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The beautiful albiness, exhibited in London in 1810" offers a glimpse into the world of freak shows and exhibitions during the 19th century. The image showcases a stunning portrait of an albino woman adorned in exquisite clothing, drawing attention to her unique beauty. Displayed as part of a London exhibition in 1810, this print captures the fascination that surrounded individuals with albinism during that time. Albinos were often considered rare and exotic, attracting curious audiences who sought to witness their extraordinary appearance firsthand. In this engraving, we see the subject exuding confidence and grace despite being labeled as different by society's standards. Her striking features stand out against her elegant attire, emphasizing both her physical beauty and inner strength. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this artwork also raises questions about societal perceptions of beauty ideals throughout history. By showcasing an individual with albinism as an object of admiration rather than ridicule or curiosity alone, it challenges conventional notions of attractiveness prevalent at that time. "The beautiful albiness" serves as a reminder that true beauty knows no boundaries or limitations. It invites us to appreciate diversity and celebrate the uniqueness found within each individual. This engraving is not just a representation of one person but also symbolizes the resilience and power possessed by all those who defy societal norms while embracing their own exceptional qualities.
