EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from The Northcliffe Collection, we are transported back to the nostalgic era of the 1930s. Standing side by side, two figures embodying extremes in height create a truly remarkable sight. Jan Van Albert, known as Lofty, commands attention with his towering stature at an astonishing 9 feet and 5 inches. His brother-in-law Seppetoni, on the other hand, stands at a mere 2 feet and 6 inches. The contrast between these two individuals is both historic and awe-inspiring. As we gaze upon this image frozen in time, we cannot help but marvel at the incredible diversity that exists within our world. It serves as a reminder that even amidst challenging times like those of London in 1939, there were moments of wonder and amusement. This photograph encapsulates not only their extraordinary heights but also their shared bond as family members. Their expressions reveal a sense of camaraderie and humor that transcends physical differences. As we delve into the past through images like this one, it allows us to reflect on how society has evolved over time while appreciating its quirks and idiosyncrasies. This print captures an era where curiosity was piqued by such spectacles – an era when people gathered to witness wonders firsthand rather than through screens. Let us cherish these glimpses into history for they offer us insight into our collective journey while reminding us never to lose sight of our humanity's rich tapestry.
