EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic figure of Robert Hales, a man who defied the norms of his time and became known as the Norfolk Giant. Born on May 2, 1820, in Ilkley, Norfolk, England, Robert Hales stood an astonishing 7 feet 6 inches tall and weighed an impressive 33 stone. The image, taken in the mid-19th century, showcases Hales' imposing stature and striking presence. His broad shoulders, long limbs, and towering height are a testament to his unique physique. The photograph, taken during a time when the average height for men was around 5 feet 7 inches, highlights the remarkable difference between Hales and his contemporaries.

People were in awe of his size and marveled at the opportunity to meet and speak with him. Hales' fame spread far and wide, and he became a popular figure in the world of sideshows and fairs. The exact cause of Hales' extraordinary height remains a mystery. Some speculate that he may have suffered from a medical condition, such as acromegaly, which can cause excessive growth. Others believe that his size may have been due to a genetic anomaly. Regardless of the cause, Robert Hales' legacy as the Norfolk Giant continues to captivate and inspire people to this day. This photograph is a rare and valuable glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the life of a man who defied the odds and left an indelible mark on history.
