EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Mr Daniel Lambert, at 36 years of age weighed 50 stone" offers a glimpse into the extraordinary life of a man who defied societal norms. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases Mr Daniel Lambert, a figure whose weight and size were truly remarkable. At just 36 years old, Mr Lambert tipped the scales at a staggering 50 stone or seven hundred pounds! The measurements provided are equally astounding; his body measured three yards four inches in circumference while his leg was one yard one inch around. These numbers give us an insight into the sheer magnitude of his physical presence. While obesity is often associated with negative connotations today, it is important to remember that during Mr Lambert's time, he became somewhat of an entertainment spectacle due to his immense size. People would flock to see him as if he were a living curiosity. This engraving not only captures Mr Lambert's incredible physique but also serves as a reminder of how perceptions surrounding weight and aging have evolved over time. It prompts us to reflect on society's changing attitudes towards body image and reminds us that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. Displayed here courtesy of Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this print allows us to marvel at the uniqueness of individuals like Mr Daniel Lambert who challenge our preconceived notions about what it means to be human.
