Blanche Dumas

Blanche Dumas was born on the Caribbean island of Martinique in 1860, to a French father and a biracial mother. She had a third leg attached to her sacrum, and her two primary legs were said to be imperfectly developed. The third leg was without a mobile joint but had a bend in it where the knee would have been. Her pelvis was wider than normal and she had double genitalia as well as a duplicate bowel and bladder. To the right of her middle leg was the stump of another limb; it’s unknown at this time whether this stump was naturally occurring or the site of a surgical amputation, but promoters sought to maximize its appeal by adorning it with nipples and advertising it a pair of “well-formed” extra breasts! Stories of Blanche all mention her pronounced libido. She moved to Paris later in life and became a courtesan, and allegedly, upon hearing about the three-legged man, dos Santos, who was touring at the same time, she expressed a desire to have sex with him. According to Gould and Pyle, “There were two vaginae and two well-developed vulvae, both having equally developed sensations. The sexual appetite was markedly developed, and coitus was practiced in both vaginae.”

Post Mortem Girls

This is a "Post Mortem" photo, the girl on the right side is dead and a posing stand is supporting her neck , back and arms. The girl in the picture has open eyes but in some cases the photographer painted pupils on the eye lids to make them look wide awake.

After Queen Victoria asked to photograph the corpse of an relative as a souvenir this idea spread around the world. A morbid reminder of the loved once that passed on.
