Medieval Animals

The Travels of Sir John Mandeville & Nuremberg Chronicle (1493)

Nuremberg Blemmye

Themes & interpretation: Wonders of the East, Anatomical Economy, Deadpan Stare

Hailing from ancient travelers' lore and medieval encyclopedias, the Blemmyes are men whose heads are omitted entirely, their eyes and mouths embedded directly into their chests. An exercise in biological minimalism.
