EDITORS COMMENTS
This full-length portrait captures the remarkable Lucia Zarate, a Mexican midget, in all her uniqueness and beauty. Taken around 1880 by J. Wood, an American photographer active in New York during the late 19th century, this albumen silver print showcases his skillful craftsmanship. Lucia Zarate's diminutive stature is evident as she stands confidently before the camera. Despite her small physical size, her presence fills the frame with an undeniable sense of strength and resilience. Her elaborate dress and stylish hat add to the overall elegance of the composition. Wood's attention to detail is apparent in every aspect of this photograph. The lighting highlights Lucia's delicate features while also casting subtle shadows that create depth and dimensionality within the image. The use of albumen silver print further enhances its timeless quality. This portrait offers a glimpse into both Lucia Zarate's individuality and the social context of her time. It serves as a testament to human diversity and challenges societal norms surrounding physical appearance. The Liszt Collection has preserved this historical artifact for future generations to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its cultural significance. This photograph invites viewers to reflect on society's treatment of individuals who deviate from conventional standards of height or appearance.
