Mr Patrick O'Brien, The Celebrated Irish Giant. 8 Feet 7 Inches high. Aged 38 Years.
T. Parry del. A. Van Assen Sculp.
Pub.d June 20, 1804 by R.S. Kirby, 11 London House yard, & J. Scott, 447 Strand.
Etching. 210 x 120mm (8¼ x 4¾"). Trimmed within plate on right. Small margins on 3 sides.
The Irish giant Patrick O'Brien (1760-1806, real name Patrick Cotter), leaning on the top of a door, towering over another man. He was the first man in history with a certified height of over 8 feet (8'1", not 8'7'' as claimed), a record not broken for another century. He took the name O'Brien to claim descent from the legendarily gigantic Brian Boru. Working on the sideshow circuit he became quite wealthy, leaving £2,000 to his mother when he died. He left his clothes to his servant, who displayed them on a mannequin in the Haymarket; his boots are still on display in the Kinsale Museum. Cotter requested that his body be entombed within twelve feet of solid rock to prevent exhumation for scientific or medical research; however in 1972 his remains were examined and his height verified.
