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. They were known to perform simple tricks and tasks for audiences, adding to their allure as exotic and mysterious beings. The photograph showcases Maximo and Bartolo standing side by side, their small frames and distinctive features on full display. Their expressions suggest a sense of pride and confidence, despite the circumstances that led them to a life of exhibition. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities and nuances of human difference, and the ways in which they have been perceived and presented throughout history. This photograph is a rare and intriguing glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of two individuals who defied the norms of their time and captivated audiences with their unique presence.
