EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1815 showcases the enigmatic Barbara Urslerin, a woman born in Germany in 1629 who became known as the Hairy Faced Woman. With her portrait captured waist up, she gazes confidently at the camera, her piercing eyes drawing you into her world. Barbara's unique condition, Hypertrichosis or Ambras Syndrome, is evident in her facial hair that gracefully cascades down like a scarf. Her hirsute appearance challenges societal norms and captivates viewers with its extraordinary nature. As we delve into history through this illustration and painting, we are reminded of the fascinating intersection between healthcare and medicine. Barbara's presence as a circus attraction not only highlights society's curiosity but also sheds light on how medical conditions were perceived during that era. Her hairstyle frames her face delicately, accentuating both her beauty and uniqueness. The lithograph itself serves as an important artifact documenting an individual who defied conventional standards of femininity. In this vertical composition featuring one person - one woman only - we witness Barbara Urslerin's strength and resilience shining through despite being labeled as different by society. This image invites us to reflect on our own perceptions of beauty and acceptance while honoring Barbara's legacy as an iconoclast who challenged societal expectations with grace and dignity.
