I am in need of pictures of fat men wearing suits in the 1910's and 1920's. My google-fu is failing me, and I am sick of looking at men in suits!
I shall offer this: [link] It's a former Prime Minister of Australia, photo taken in 1915.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

William Howard Taft: notably fat man who was frequently photographed in suits. [link] (Also, Cincinnatian.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Here you go, Sophia, President Taft.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I'm phobic but the snake is totally in the right in this case.

I thought Huey long might be good, but I looked at some pictures and he doesn't look fat. I guess he just lived large.

Oliver Hardy and Fatty Arbuckle might also merit a google.

Thank you! Taft is perfect- I don't know why I couldn't think of him! Although I may use the Australian man in my collage, since his is less recognizable!

In Googling a famously large man of the era, Diamond Jim Brady [link] I found this trove of news photos from the 1910s [link]
It's possible I may never emerge from the Library of Congress Flickr project.

Also I wish I had a snowball's chance in hell at getting a morning coat for this guy without making one- fat men look better in morning coats than sack suits. (I am doing a no money show, and can't rent one)
