Artist Amy Beaumont … a wonderful piece of art!

This great etching is titled Comments on Corpulency and was created by William Wadd, a 19th-century surgeon and author.It serves as the frontispiece for his book on diet and obesity.

Maybe it’s just me, but I think the King cuts a bit of a monarchial profile here, sporting an impressive belly carried about by two stout but sturdy legs, looking strong, sturdy, and even a bit athletic. His other images don’t appear to have portrayed him as large as this and his record suggests some success, as well as failure, so he seems to create at least an interesting, if difficult to fully judge, figure of history.

Bicyclist Getting Stopped By A Huge Stomach, a popular 19th century lithograph featured in publications like Punch's Almanack. He seems to absorbed the hit quite well!

Fantastic work by American artist Zoe Sauvé

A fantastic 1950’s Spanish postcard of two beauties in the hills with the more striking of the two stating Ah! ¿Qué querés que diga... En las sierras me pongo agilisima...(meaning: "Ah! What do you want me to say... In the mountains/hills I get very agile...").
