EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the larger-than-life presence of W T Ecclestone, famously known as Jolly Jumbo - the second heaviest man in the world. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this rare print showcases a remarkable individual who defied societal norms and embraced his unique physique. With a staggering weight of 38 stone (532 pounds), Jolly Jumbo was not only renowned for his size but also for being the proprietor of the Canterbury Arms, located on Canterbury Road in West Kilburn, London. This portrait offers a glimpse into his life as he proudly poses for the camera, exuding confidence and charisma. The image serves as a testament to both Ecclestone's extraordinary physicality and his resilience in navigating a world that often stigmatizes those who do not fit conventional standards. It invites us to question our preconceived notions about beauty and challenges us to embrace diversity in all its forms. Preserved within a private collection, this photograph is an invaluable piece of history that sheds light on an individual whose story deserves recognition. Through this lens, we are reminded that every person has their own journey and should be celebrated for their uniqueness rather than judged solely based on appearance. As we gaze upon this striking image, let us appreciate W T Ecclestone's indomitable spirit while reflecting on society's evolving perceptions of body image and acceptance.
