Free FreeThe Victorian appetite for sensationalism rivalled our own. But unencumbered by sensitivity towards disability or difference and enthralled by notions of the foreign, the public appetite transformed central London into a wonderland of freak shows, dioramas, panopticons and exotica.
Our ringmasters, Wellcome Library's Ross MacFarlane and pre-eminent London guide Peter Berthoud guide us on a whirlwind ride through its dubious delights.
