EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait takes us back to the late 19th century, where American showman Phineas T. Barnum proudly presents an extraordinary attraction - The Sacred Hairy Family of Burma. In this intriguing photograph by Henry Guttmann, we are introduced to a Burmese family whose faces are adorned with an abundance of hair. The image showcases the physical diversity within this peculiar family, as both male and female members display their unique facial hair. Their untamed locks create a mesmerizing sight that challenges societal norms and captivates audiences seeking the bizarre and unusual. Barnum, renowned for his ability to curate extraordinary spectacles, skillfully marketed this astonishing family as one of his many attractions in his circus shows. This photograph serves as a testament to Barnum's knack for capturing public attention through displays of human oddities. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from the Fine Art Storehouse collection, it is impossible not to be drawn into the enigmatic world these individuals inhabited over a century ago. It reminds us that even in times long past, people were fascinated by physical anomalies and sought out such curiosities for entertainment purposes. Henry Guttmann's expertly captured portrait immortalizes The Sacred Hairy Family of Burma, allowing us to reflect on our fascination with difference while appreciating the beauty found within diversity itself.
