Bright Edward Grocer Obese Obesity
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the portrait of Mr Edward Bright, a prominent figure in 18th century England. Born in 1721, Bright was known for his occupation as a grocer from Maldon, Essex. However, it was his extraordinary size that made him truly remarkable. At the time of his death in 1750, he held the title of being the fattest man in England. Described as an imposing figure, Bright's coat was said to be so large that it could accommodate seven men standing inside it. Weighing a staggering 47.5 stone (665 lb or 302 kg), he became an icon of obesity during this era. The engraving showcased here is from Universal Magazine and provides us with a glimpse into this larger-than-life character who defied societal norms through his immense size. The monochrome image emphasizes both the grandeur and solemnity surrounding Mr Edward Bright's presence. As we observe this portrait, we are transported back to a time when occupation defined one's identity and physical appearance often shaped public perception. Through this photograph print by Unknown creator and featuring Edward Bright himself, we gain insight into not only an individual but also into society's fascination with human diversity during the eighteenth century.
