Baptiste Hugo, 7 ft 7 in “Giant” at a New York City Tavern, 1908.
Photograph of 7 ft 6½ in (2.30 m) tall Baptiste Hugo, known as the French Giant, sitting in a New York City tavern with a beer on the table beside him and a cigar in hand, 1908. The man seated next to him gives a sense of his scale. The photograph was likely taken as publicity while he was employed by the Barnum & Bailey Circus.
