London, 1914

strange how the tags only say vintage, girl, child, london and completely ignore the tall, gorgeous black woman i’d like to know more about.  

interesting photo nonetheless….hmmm

^^^This, I want to know who she is too

This is Mme Abomah aka “The African Giantess.” (Her birth name was Ella Williams). She was an international celebrity and the tallest woman (7’6″) in the world during her time. You can read more about her here.

This is cool!
