EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Dwarf girl from the neighbourhood of Mount Pisgah in Undussuma" offers a glimpse into the ethnographical and historical aspects of dwarfism. Created by an unknown European School artist in the 19th century, this print is part of a private collection. The image portrays a young girl with dwarfism, hailing from the neighborhood near Mount Pisgah in Undussuma. It was originally featured as an illustration for Friedrich Ratzel's book "The History of Mankind" published by Macmillan in 1896. Intriguingly, this artwork sheds light on society's perception and understanding of deformities and illnesses during that era. The presence of medical symbols like Asklepios, the Greek god associated with healing, suggests that health and medicine played significant roles in addressing such conditions. Through this engraving, we are reminded of the challenges faced by individuals afflicted with various maladies throughout history. It serves as a testament to our evolving knowledge about infectious diseases and medical science over time. While exploring themes related to physical health, illness, and healthcare services depicted within this artwork, it is important to appreciate its artistic value rather than focusing solely on commercial use or any specific company associated with it. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece for us to reflect upon humanity's journey towards understanding diversity and embracing differences throughout centuries past.
