EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Portrait of an obese youth flanked by a man and a woman" offers a glimpse into the lives of three individuals in the United States during the late 19th century. Taken around 1880, this image showcases not only their physical appearance but also hints at the societal attitudes towards health, fashion, and relationships of that era. The central figure is an obese youth whose size commands attention. His presence is accentuated by being flanked on either side by a man and a woman. The trio's positioning suggests familial ties or perhaps close companionship. Their expressions are enigmatic yet revealing; one can sense both pride and vulnerability emanating from their faces. This photograph raises questions about disease or disorder prevalent during that time period. Was obesity considered as such? Or was it merely seen as an individual trait? It invites us to ponder how medicine may have approached such conditions back then compared to today's advancements in healthcare. In terms of clothing and fashion, this portrait provides valuable insights into the style choices of everyday people rather than high society elites often depicted in historical records. The subjects' attire reflects typical daytime wear for men and women during this period - modest yet elegant garments that speak to their social standing. Although we do not know who captured this moment frozen in time, its significance lies beyond authorship attribution. This powerful image serves as a reminder that every person has a story worth telling regardless of commercial interests or fame-seeking motives. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, let us appreciate its ability to transport us through time while encouraging empathy towards those whose experiences may differ vastly from our own.
