EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Senora Pastrana" showcases an intriguing engraving by the English School in the 19th century. The image, part of a private collection, depicts Senora Pastrana, a woman known for her unique and striking appearance. Her most notable peculiarity is her beard, which defies societal norms and challenges conventional notions of beauty. The illustration originally appeared in The Picture Magazine in 1893, shedding light on Senora Pastrana's story and capturing the fascination she evoked during that time. With her hypertrichosis condition causing excessive hair growth all over her face and body, she became an extraordinary figure both in Mexico and beyond. This historical portrait transports us to a different era when physical peculiarities were celebrated as curiosities rather than stigmatized. It serves as a reminder of our ever-evolving perceptions of beauty and acceptance. Senora Pastrana's presence transcends borders as this engraving found its way into St Petersburg, USA – highlighting how her impact reached far beyond Mexico's borders. In North America, she captivated audiences with her distinctive appearance while challenging societal norms around femininity. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of the rich history that exists within every corner of our world – where individuals like Senora Pastrana leave an indelible mark on society through their uniqueness and resilience.
