This is a tintype of a woman who appears to have a hand deformity. I am not sure what her particular ailment is, if at all. Anyone out there have any insight?
FringePop is a showcase for uncommon and esoteric cultural artifacts. The focus is on unusual items from both popular and fringe culture, with an emphasis on subversive pieces. The items shown are from the author's personal collection, unless otherwise noted.
I am a pop culture buff and collector, who focuses on the odd, subversive, and fringe elements of Western culture. In 2005, I edited a book for Feral House called "Sin-A-Rama: Sleaze Sex Paperbacks of the Sixties." The vintage oddities in my collection include victoriana, sideshow, medical, and kitsch. I am also an amateur sewer, making clothing from vintage mod patterns.
Wow, man hands! Not to be insensitive, but she's cracking lobster claws with those things.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it reminds me of that Seinfeld episode about the woman with the "man hands."
