EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Granger Art on Demand showcases the fascinating world of circus freaks in the late 19th century. In this particular image, we are introduced to Waino and Plutano, famously known as the original Wild Men of Borneo. However, behind their wild appearance lies a surprising truth - these "wild men" were actually mild-mannered brothers named Hiram W. and Barney Davis. Taken around 1880, this original cart-de-visite photograph captures the essence of these enigmatic entertainers. Standing side by side in sepia tones, Waino and Plutano exude an air of mystery and intrigue that was sure to captivate audiences during their time. The portrait offers a glimpse into the unique world of sideshows and carnivals that flourished in the late 19th century entertainment industry. These performers pushed boundaries with their unusual appearances, challenging societal norms while simultaneously providing amusement for curious spectators. As we delve into this mesmerizing image, it is important to appreciate its historical significance rather than focusing solely on commercial use or any specific company associated with it. The Granger Collection has preserved this piece as part of their vast collection, allowing us to explore a bygone era filled with weird wonders and extraordinary individuals who dared to be different.
