EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intriguing duo of Maximo and Bartolo, two extraordinary individuals who were once billed as The Last Aztecs during the mid-1800s. Born with microcephaly, a neurological disorder that results in an abnormally small head size, Maximo and Bartolo were exhibited in traveling shows and circuses as unique curiosities. During their career, they were discovered by P.T. Barnum, the renowned showman, who renamed them The Aztec Wonders. Barnum's promotion of the duo brought them widespread fame, and many of the existing photographs of Maximo and Bartolo come from this period of their lives. Despite their small stature and unique physical features, Maximo and Bartolo were reportedly intelligent and engaging individuals.
