 or Sign In to see what it's worth.
Pictured in this Cabinet Photo are Captain M.V. Bates and Mrs. A.H. Bates, Ages 33 and 30 years old, weight 478 and 413 lbs, respectively. They were known as The Giants, The Two Tallest People on Earth, each measuring 7 feet 11 1/2 inches in height. The photo is in very good shape. Captain Bates was born on November 9, 1845. He enlisted in the Southern Army in 1861, and though only sixteen years old was admitted to the service because of his size. At the close of the war Captain Bates had attained his greater height of 7 feet 11 1/2 inches. He traveled as a curiosity from 1866 ro 1880, being connected with various amusement organizations. He visited nearly all large cites and towns in the U.S., Canada, Great Britain, France, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Autria and Russia. While in England in 1971 the Captain met Miss Anna H. Swann, known as the "Nova Scotia Giantess," who was two years the junior of her giant lover. Miss Swann was justly proud of her height, also 7 feet 11 1/2 inches. The two were married soon afterward. They are known as the tallest married couple known to mankind. I will be happy to answer any questions that I can.
