“Searching for Maura” graphic novel (English & Filipino)

Maura came to St. Louis from the Philippines to be put on display at the 1904 World’s Fair. She soon fell ill and died, and records suggest a world-renowned anthropologist took part of her brain. Few people would know what happened to her for more than a century. In this 48-page graphic novel, The Post illustrates Maura's life and death as part of a yearlong investigation into the Smithsonian Institution's collection of brains and other body parts.
