OriginalJoseph Carey Merrick was an English man with severe deformities who was exhibited as a human curiosity named the Elephant Man. Merrick was born in Leicester, Leicestershire and began to develop abnormally during the first few years of his life. His skin appeared thick and lumpy, he developed an enlargement of his lips, and a bony lump grew on his forehead. One of his arms and both feet became enlarged and at some point during his childhood he fell and damaged his hip, resulting in permanent lameness.
Reason
Very high EV, the photograph was taken in 19th century, so I think it is historical and quality isn't big concern.
