EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print takes us back to the year 1879, when a remarkable potato made its mark in history. Known as "The Biggest Potato on Record" this mammoth vegetable weighed an astonishing 86 pounds and 10 ounces. The photograph was originally featured in The Strand Magazine published in 1897, showcasing the sheer size and grandeur of this extraordinary spud. Intriguingly named the Maggie Murphy Potato, it stands as a testament to nature's ability to produce wonders beyond our imagination. Its colossal weight is enough to leave anyone awe-struck, emphasizing just how exceptional this particular specimen truly was. The illustration captures every detail of this giant tuber with precision and clarity. From its smooth skin to its impressive girth, one cannot help but marvel at the enormity of such a humble vegetable. It serves as a reminder that even within the realm of everyday objects like potatoes, there exists room for astonishment and amazement. Ken Welsh's skillful rendering brings life to this historical artifact once again, allowing us to appreciate not only the magnitude of this record-breaking potato but also the artistry involved in documenting it over a century ago. This print is sure to captivate both history enthusiasts and lovers of all things unusual alike – reminding us that sometimes even ordinary objects can hold extraordinary stories within them.
