The tallest documented human being of modern times, Wadlow (1918–1940), who reached a height of 8´11″, made his living as a touring novelty attraction and shoe company spokesman before dying at the age of only 22. Vintage glossy 3.5 x 5.5 postcard photo, signed vertically (appropriately!) in ink “Robert Wadlow.” Light rubbing, a few surface marks and small creases, and a hint of subtle silvering, otherwise fine condition. R&R COA.
