EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing woodblock engraving from the 15th century depicts a nose-less, hermaphrodite tribe that was believed to inhabit certain regions of the earth by ancient civilizations. The image captures the unique and mysterious nature of this tribe, with their unusual physical characteristics and ambiguous gender identities.
The lack of noses on these individuals adds to their enigmatic appearance, while their hermaphroditic features challenge traditional notions of gender. The artist has skillfully portrayed the complexity and diversity of human existence through this illustration.
The deformed and mutated figures in the engraving evoke a sense of curiosity and wonder, inviting viewers to contemplate the boundaries between normalcy and abnormality. The tribal setting further emphasizes the communal aspect of these beings, suggesting a close-knit society bound together by shared experiences.
Overall, this print serves as a fascinating glimpse into a world that exists beyond our understanding, prompting us to question our preconceived notions about identity and difference. It is a testament to the rich tapestry of human history and culture, reminding us that there is always more than meets the eye when it comes to exploring the complexities of our world.
