Here’s an odd threesome for ya… The tallest, shortest and fattest man of Europe all playing a game of cards, 1913
There’s something fun about this photo of these three luminaries at the top of their field. Aside from being the tallest, smallest, and biggest people on the planet what do you think that these men had to talk about… aside from their bets of course.
Photos like this, which show people who are at the fringes of the human race, have always been fascinating for viewers. Whether it be a morbid need to see how someone else lives or just the enjoyment of seeing something so strange saved to celluloid.
These men clearly made the best of the curveballs life has thrown them. They deserve a good round of poker.
