"Giant of Illinois" 8 Feet 11 Inches Robert Wadlow Signature w/ Original Envelope. Very rare

ANS with original envelope, postmarked March 13, 1939, Alton, IL. Signed note by Robert Wadlow, the tallest person in recorded history at 8 ft 11 in, dated March 12, 1939 which lists his current height, weight, age, and shoe size on lower the half of the page. Wadlow, who toured with the Ringling Bros. Circus in 1936, was required to wear leg braces throughout his life due to the lack of feeling in his limbs. He sadly died from an infection at the age of 22 due to complications from an autoimmune disorder. Expected letter folds and uneven toning throughout. Large and bold signature- an interesting piece! 5.25" x 3.5"
