EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable figure of Robert Hales, also known as The Norfolk Giant. Born in 1820 and passing away in 1863, Hales was an English giant who stood at an astounding height of seven feet six inches. Published in The Strand Magazine in 1894, this portrait captures the attention of viewers with its striking depiction of a man whose stature defied convention. The image serves as a powerful testament to human diversity and the wonders of nature. Hales' towering presence invites us to ponder the mysteries surrounding gigantism, a condition that causes excessive growth and is often associated with awe-inspiring figures throughout history. In this illustration from the late 19th century, we are reminded of how perspectives on physical appearance have evolved over time. Hales' larger-than-life frame stands out against the backdrop of his era's societal norms, challenging notions of what it means to be "normal" or "average". Ken Welsh's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the uniqueness and humanity behind this extraordinary individual. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but marvel at Hales' immense size while simultaneously recognizing his inherent dignity as a person. This print offers not only a glimpse into one man's life but also prompts reflection on our own perceptions about difference and acceptance. It serves as a timeless reminder that true beauty lies not solely in conformity but rather in embracing all forms that humanity takes.
