John S. Elliott, largest man in Maryland. Signed on verso. The following from his death notice: “Death of the Largest Man in Maryland. John S. Elliott died at his residence in Queen Anne’s county, Md., on Sunday, of pneumonia, aged fifty-nine years. He was the largest man ever raised in Maryland, and perhaps in the United States. A few years ago, while exhibiting, he weighed nearly five hundred pounds; of late he had fallen off, and his weight was reduced to less than four hundred pounds. In height he was five feet ten inches, and two feet across from shoulder to shoulder. He generally enjoyed good health, but the disease from which he died carried him off after a few days’ illness. He was a native of Queen Anne’s county, but was well known in the adjacent counties.”

Maximo & Bartola, Aztecs of Ancient Mexico. Máximo and Bartola (also known as Maximo Valdez Nunez and Bartola Velasquez respectively) were the stage names of two Salvadoran siblings both suffering from microcephaly and cognitive developmental disability who were exhibited in human zoos in the 19th century. Originally from near Usulután, El Salvador, the siblings were given by their mother to a merchant who promised he would take them to Grenada to be educated and exhibited. They then went through several guardians afterwards. They were eventually billed as “Aztec Children” and an elaborate story was constructed of how they were found in the temple of a lost Mesoamerican city. They toured the U.S. and Europe, appearing before various regents and dignitaries.
