Eighteen-year old Robert Wadlow of Alton, Illinois, waits at a traffic light surrounded by a crowd, April 7, 1937. Robert' s father and manager, Harold Wadlow, is at left. The two were on a nationwide tour of schools, theaters and lecture halls. Robert, who was 8 feet and 4 inches tall, later joined the Ringling Brothers Circus for a six-week appearance.

For Robert Wadlow's birthday, I decided to do a sketch. Happy birthday, Robert!

What Andre The Giant would have looked like standing in front of the world's tallest man, Robert Wadlow, who was 8'11 and weighed 437 pounds.

wadlow's shoes, a store operated by harold from january 1941 to mid-1944 :')

bonus- an ad in alton high's 1942 tatler:

and the storefront today:

#robert wadlow #robert wadlow trash #harold carried on his legacy! :') #i'm sure senpai would be very proud! :) #fun fact: the store he opens in my latest sib story is based on this one! ;) #in his time it was beardslee and ross hardware and feed #and the store was last used as a pet groomer in 2013 (which he'd also like!) #the store was last seen in an april '44 newspaper so i just put mid-44 for the closing date #harold was running for mayor by then! ;) #i hope the rest of the fam pitched in to make it a success! ;D
