EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing engraving from the 17th century showcases a Turkish archer with two heads. Created by an unknown European artist, this print captures the curiosity and fascination surrounding deformities during that time period. The image is part of a private collection and was featured in a supplement to the Bilder-Lexicon Kulturgeschichte - Literatur und Kunst Sexualwissenschaft. The archer's dual heads are depicted with great detail, showcasing both their individual expressions and features. This unusual portrayal raises questions about the nature of deformity, illness, and disease during this era. It offers a glimpse into how such conditions were perceived and represented in art. The archer stands confidently, holding his bow as if ready for battle. His presence suggests that despite his physical abnormality, he is still capable of being a skilled soldier or combatant. This challenges societal norms and expectations surrounding physical appearance and abilities. The engraving also hints at the broader context of military life during this time period. References to soldiers, conscripts, navy troops, and armed forces suggest that warfare played a significant role in society at large. Overall, this artwork invites viewers to contemplate notions of beauty, strength, resilience, and acceptance within historical contexts.
