EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print from the Liszt Collection showcases a rare medical condition known as Congenital Naevus Face. The subject of this photograph is Charles B. Brigham, an American individual who lived between 1845 and 1903 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Taken in 1876 using the heliotype technique, this image measures approximately 14.8 by 9.6 cm (5 13/16 by 3 3/4 inches). It captures the unique facial features resulting from congenital nævus, a birthmark that covers a significant portion of Charles' face. The striking contrast between his normal skin and the dark pigmentation of the naevus creates an intriguing visual impact. The photographer skillfully highlights both the beauty and complexity inherent in human diversity through this portrait. Charles B. Brigham's expression reflects strength and resilience despite society's potential prejudices towards his appearance during that era. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder to embrace differences and challenge societal norms regarding physical appearances. As part of the Liszt Collection, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate historical documentation while fostering empathy for individuals with visible differences like Charles B. Brigham.
