EDITORS COMMENTS

The print showcases the astonishing corpulence of Lambert, who weighed over 700 pounds (320 kilograms) during his lifetime. Lambert was not only known for his immense size but also for being a gaol keeper and dog breeder from Leicester. The lithograph is based on a stipple engraving by Robert Cooper and is featured in Henry Wilson and James Caulfield's Book of Wonderful Characters, Memoirs and Anecdotes of Remarkable and Eccentric Persons in all ages and countries. It offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into the life of this remarkable individual. Lambert gained significant attention when he exhibited himself in London in 1806 due to his extraordinary weight.

Displayed against a backdrop that reflects the aesthetics of the late eighteenth century, this image serves as a testament to human diversity throughout history. It invites us to ponder societal perceptions of beauty, body image, and physicality across different eras.
