EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Esau Lady" takes us back to the 19th century. The image showcases a striking woman named Miss Annie Jones Elliot, who hails from Virginia. Her most distinctive feature is her impressive bearded face, which challenges traditional notions of femininity. With her prominent moustache and beard, the Esau Lady stands as a symbol of individuality and defiance against societal norms. This historical print offers a glimpse into an era when women were expected to conform to strict beauty standards. The intricate details in this engraving highlight the meticulous craftsmanship of the English School artist who created it. Every strand of hair on the lady's head and face is meticulously etched, showcasing both skill and dedication. "The Esau Lady" was featured in The Picture Magazine in 1893, making it not only a piece of art but also an important part of history. It serves as a reminder that throughout time, women have challenged conventions and pushed boundaries. Displayed in private collections today, this print continues to fascinate viewers with its unique portrayal of gender identity during an era marked by change and progress. Its presence reminds us that true beauty lies not in conformity but rather in embracing one's authentic self.
