The Pigmies in Piccadilly - A Captivating Glimpse into the World of Extraordinary Individuals
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This intriguing engraving, titled "The Pigmies in Piccadilly" offers a fascinating window into the peculiarities and curiosities that captivated Victorian London. Created by Frank Dadd in 1880, this print depicts two remarkable figures - Lucia Zarate and General Mite - alongside their exhibitor. Lucia Zarate, known as one of the smallest women to have ever lived, stands gracefully next to General Mite, who was celebrated for his diminutive stature. Both individuals were considered extraordinary due to their unique physical attributes. This illustration showcases them amidst the bustling streets of Piccadilly, a vibrant hub of activity during that era. The engraving not only captures these remarkable individuals but also sheds light on society's fascination with human anomalies and freak shows prevalent at the time. The presence of an exhibitor hints at how such spectacles were often commercialized for public entertainment. As we gaze upon this historical artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back to an era when deformities and abnormalities were both revered and exploited. It serves as a reminder of our collective curiosity about those who defy societal norms or possess exceptional characteristics. "The Pigmies in Piccadilly" invites us to contemplate our own perceptions of difference while acknowledging the complex dynamics between exploitation and admiration that existed within Victorian society.
