EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures Maurice Pluthero, known as the "fat boy of Petersham" on November 11,1916. Despite his weight, Maurice is seen smiling brightly in this monochrome portrait that exudes personality and charm. The image transports us back to early 20th century Europe, showcasing a young boy who stands out due to his obesity. Maurice's plump figure is evident, highlighting the societal perception of weight during that era. However, it is his infectious smile that truly steals the show. Set against a backdrop of a lush garden, Maurice's fashion choices reflect the trends of the time. His attire hints at an innocence associated with childhood while also emphasizing his unique appearance. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph raises questions about health and well-being in children during this period. It serves as a reminder of how attitudes towards body image have evolved over time. Captured by ?TopFoto from TopFoto archives, this print offers a glimpse into history through one individual's story. While commercial use may not be mentioned here, it remains an invaluable piece for historians and photography enthusiasts alike seeking to understand society's perceptions surrounding weight problems in children nearly a century ago.
