EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant and historically significant photograph captures the aftermath of a groundbreaking operation that forever changed the lives of Siamese twins Radica and Doodica. The colour lithograph, created by an anonymous French School artist in the 20th century, showcases the two Indian sisters lying side by side on separate beds after their successful separation. Radica and Doodica had been part of P. T. Barnum's circus, captivating audiences with their unique bond until tragedy struck. Doodica was diagnosed with tuberculosis, prompting doctors to make the difficult decision to separate them in order to save Radica's life. However, despite their best efforts, Doodica tragically passed away shortly after the operation. The image evokes a sense of both triumph and heartbreak as it immortalizes this pivotal moment in medical history. The skilled surgeon stands beside his young patients, symbolizing hope amidst unimaginable sorrow. The room is filled with furniture and furnishings typical of a hospital ward at that time. Through this photograph print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are reminded not only of the incredible advancements made in medicine but also of the human cost associated with such procedures. It serves as a powerful testament to the resilience and fragility of life itself – capturing a story that continues to resonate today.
