EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "The Pig-faced Lady of Manchester Square" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of oddities and curiosities. The image showcases a young lady with a peculiar deformity, her face resembling that of a pig. Despite her unconventional appearance, she exudes an air of elegance and grace as she sits at the piano. The setting is none other than bustling Manchester Square in London, where this extraordinary woman captured the attention and curiosity of passersby. Published in 1815, this engraving immortalizes her unique presence during that time. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of how society has always been fascinated by those who deviate from societal norms. Yet beyond mere spectacle lies an individual with talents and passions just like anyone else. Here we see her playing music composed by Handel, showcasing not only her physical uniqueness but also her musical prowess. "The Pig-faced Lady of Manchester Square" challenges our preconceived notions about beauty and normalcy while highlighting the power of art to transcend physical appearances. This intriguing piece serves as a reminder that true beauty lies within one's character and abilities rather than their outward appearance alone.
