-* Birdie Morell *- The Pink-Eyed Beauty carte de visite, 4 x 2.5 inches, circa 1884 photographer: Chas. Eisenmann, 229 Bowery, New York

Due to their strange appearance, albinos were frequently featured in the sideshow. This young albino girl sits with a book in her lap and upon something that looks like a haystack, or perhaps a faux grassy hillock. This must have been taken during one of Charles Eisenmann’s pastoral phases. This same prop appears in other photographs taken by Eisenmann around 1884 — where it usually appears on the floor in an attempt at a rustic motif — so that is my best guess as to the date of this portrait.

Sideshow Banners In-Progress!

I made this! Also, I'm playing with Hyacinth's Year 13 design - new haircut, still a mess! This is her "Springtime in Prokovia" outfit. Maybe that's a spoiler, but, come on. If you've been reading, you knew they'd show up eventually.

So, these are people who couldn't pass for normal in a fairly liberal country, and now they're trying to blend in in a conservative place. Of course they look like a freakshow, so I'm making it happen! My tongue is firmly in my cheek, but my intent is flattery. Normal sucks!

Here's a vintage example for comparison.

I'm proud of how close I got the style! I didn't distress it quite as much, but I didn't want the render everyone as unrecognizable. Now I gotta do it five more times! You deserve illustrations, my few readers. My body is letting me draw at the moment, so I'll give you what I can. Your patience should be rewarded!
