EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving showcases the remarkable figure of Mr Henry Blacker, known as The British Giant. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 18th century, this print offers a glimpse into the world of extraordinary individuals who captured public fascination during that time. Mr Henry Blacker's towering presence is evident as he stands tall, his feet firmly planted on the ground. A true spectacle to behold, he was widely regarded as one of the tallest men in existence. With every inch meticulously detailed in this engraving, it becomes apparent why he drew crowds from far and wide. The image transports us back to a bygone era when exhibitions featuring unique individuals were popular forms of entertainment. One can imagine spectators flocking to Charing Cross to witness firsthand this awe-inspiring sight. As part of various world exhibitions and shows, Mr Henry Blacker undoubtedly left an indelible mark on all those fortunate enough to have seen him. This particular print was published on 16 March 1751 and has since found its place within a private collection. Preserved through time, it serves as a testament not only to Mr Henry Blacker's larger-than-life stature but also to our enduring fascination with human anomalies. Through this coloured engraving from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are granted access to a moment frozen in history—a glimpse into the extraordinary life and legacy of The British Giant himself: Mr Henry Blacker.
