Framed Print of The Chinese Giant, Chang, with his wife and attendant dwarf, 1865. Creator: Unknown
The Chinese Giant, Chang, with his wife and attendant dwarf, 1865. Engraving from a photograph by the London Stereoscopic Company, of...a young gentleman named Chang-Woo-Gow, nineteen years of age...lately arrived in London for the purpose of displaying his wonderful stature to us little people, at the Egyptian Hall. He is accompanied by his wife, whose name, King-Foo, signifies The Fair Lily, and who looks like any other Chinese lady, having the small, compressed feet which belong to her sex and social rank in that country. A dwarf, called Chung, who stands but 3 ft. high...attends the giant, and enhances the exhibition of his size by contrast...The height of Chang is 7 ft. 8 in...He has a good slim shape, and a mild, agreeable face, with the prominent cheek bones and narrow, oblique eyelids of the Mongol race. He wears a brocaded robe of white silk, with a massive string of beads round his neck, a fan in his hand, a cap on his head, and thick white sandals under his feet. He seems to be an intelligent person...and his autobiography, sold at the Egyptian Hall, expresses a vein of cheerful moral sentiment which does equal credit to the head and heart of its author. He is said to be an affectionate husband, and he is kind to little Chung'. From Illustrated London News, 1865.
