P. T. Barnum, "Living Curiosities"

Phineas Taylor (P. T.) Barnum (July 5, 1810 - April 7, 1891) was an American showman and businessman. In 1841, he opened Barnum's American Museum with a changing series of live acts and curiosities. In this undated photo are two albinos, three giants, two little people, and two “circassian beauties” women from the Northern Caucasus. The beauties have the blown-out hair. In the 19th century, women from this part of the world were believed to be unusually attractive and widely desired for Middle Eastern harems. Reportedly Barnum claimed that these two had escaped a Turkish harem. No photographer credited, undated.
