EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intriguing "Portrait of Mr John Love" by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century. The subject, Mr John Love, was a renowned bookseller hailing from Weymouth, England. However, it is not his profession that has made him famous; it is his extraordinary size and weight. Mr John Love holds the distinction of being known as the fattest and heaviest man ever recorded in England's history. This remarkable engraving was originally published in the New Wonderful Museum and Extraordinary Magazine, where people marveled at his immense stature. The portrait captures Mr Love's larger-than-life presence with incredible detail and precision. His round face exudes both gentleness and strength while emphasizing his impressive girth. One cannot help but be captivated by this unique representation of a man who defied societal norms. Displayed against a plain background, this image invites viewers to ponder upon themes such as body image, perception of beauty, or even society's fascination with unusual individuals throughout history. Preserved within a private collection belonging to Valerie Jackson Harris, this rare photograph print offers us a glimpse into an era when eccentricity was celebrated rather than shunned. It serves as a testament to human diversity and reminds us that true beauty lies beyond conventional standards.
