EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating print captures the enigmatic Giacomo Poro, a man born in Genoa in 1686 with an extraordinary twin. In 1714, he made his way to London where he exhibited this rare and paranormal phenomenon to curious onlookers. The image is a glimpse into the world of oddities and human marvels that were often showcased for entertainment and intrigue during this period of history. Giacomo Poro's story is one of both wonder and mystery, as his birth defied all expectations and norms. His presence in London would have undoubtedly caused quite a stir among those who witnessed him and his unique twin. The photograph allows us to peer into the past and contemplate the complexities of human existence, particularly when faced with such unusual circumstances. The historical significance of Giacomo Poro's life cannot be understated, as he represents a time when individuals with physical anomalies were often labeled as "freaks" or curiosities for public consumption. Despite this dehumanizing treatment, it is important to remember that behind every spectacle lies a complex individual with their own story to tell. Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this piece of history through their collection, allowing us to reflect on the diversity of human experience and challenge our perceptions of what is considered "normal." This print serves as a reminder that there is beauty in uniqueness and strength in embracing one's differences.
