He was a bit of a celebrity in his day, which would have made this a key moment to photograph.

If it is indeed him, the Guiness people may be able verify it. In comparison to the other guy, unless he is an inordinarely SHORT man, the tall man is definitely WAY into 7+ feet tall.
Very cool family heirloom!

I think Wadlow is too tall and wrong facial features. He is one big man though, his dad photo is about my height an he looks like a midget. Even though it is a small list of fellas that are over 7 feet in that era, there are still enough of that it can be difficult to judge without a clear picture and a comparative scale.
I think the circumstantial evidence is compelling that points to the Tomani fella. Two dimensional photographs can be tricky and there are plenty of fish stories and trick pictures of 3 lb bass that look like a 7 pound bass.
