The Chinese Giant, Chang, with his wife and attendant dwarf, 1865. Creator: Unknown
The Chinese Giant, Chang, with his wife and attendant dwarf, 1865. Engraving from a photograph by the London Stereoscopic Company, of...a young gentleman named Chang-Woo-Gow, nineteen years of age...lately arrived in London for the purpose of displaying his wonderful stature to us little people, at the Egyptian Hall. He is accompanied by his wife, whose name, King-Foo, signifies "The Fair Lily, " and who looks like any other Chinese lady, having the small, compressed feet which belong to her sex and social rank in that country. A dwarf, called Chung, who stands but 3 ft. high...attends the giant, and enhances the exhibition of his size by contrast...The height of Chang is 7 ft. 8 in...He has a good slim shape, and a mild, agreeable face, with the prominent cheek bones and narrow, oblique eyelids of the Mongol race. He wears a brocaded robe of white silk, with a massive string of beads round his neck, a fan in his hand, a cap on his head, and thick white sandals under his feet. He seems to be an intelligent person...and his autobiography, sold at the Egyptian Hall, expresses a vein of cheerful moral sentiment which does equal credit to the head and heart of its author. He is said to be an affectionate husband, and he is kind to little Chung'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865

EDITORS COMMENTS
**A Giant Among Men: Chang with His Wife and Attendant Dwarf**
In this remarkable photograph, taken in 1865, we find ourselves face to face with The Chinese Giant, Chang, a towering figure standing at an astonishing 7 feet 8 inches tall. Accompanied by his petite wife, King-Foo (or "The Fair Lily"), who measures just over five feet in height herself, and her diminutive attendant dwarf Chung (only three feet high), this extraordinary trio presents a fascinating study in contrasts.
Chang's gentle features and slender build belie the enormity of his stature, while his attire - including a brocaded white silk robe adorned with beads around his neck - exudes an air of elegance. His wife King-Foo looks every bit as lovely as her name suggests, donning traditional Chinese garb that accentuates her delicate feet.
The photograph captures not only the physical enormity of Chang but also his kind and affectionate nature, evident in his relationship with Chung, who is said to be treated with great kindness by the giant. This poignant image serves as a powerful reminder of the beauty in diversity and the importance of treating all individuals - regardless of size or stature - with respect and compassion.
