EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing engraving captures the portrait of Mr Edward Bright, a man whose life was cut short at the young age of 29. The image showcases his imposing figure, as he weighed an astonishing 43 1/2 stone. Dressed in traditional clothing, Mr Bright's presence is both striking and poignant. The artist behind this 18th-century masterpiece remains unknown, but their skill in capturing every intricate detail is evident. From the folds of his garments to the expression on his face, this engraving offers a glimpse into the life of a man who left an indelible mark on those around him. Mr Edward Bright hailed from Maldon, Essex and sadly passed away on November 10th, 1750. The date of publication for this print was January 1st, that same year - perhaps serving as a commemoration or tribute to his memory. Beyond its artistic value, this portrait also sheds light on issues surrounding obesity during that era. It serves as a reminder that weight-related health concerns have long been present throughout history. As we contemplate this image today, let us remember Mr Edward Bright and reflect upon how society's understanding and approach towards obesity has evolved over time.
