I think the average man TODAY is 5'9"-5'10", so back then it was probably more like 5'7".
I read just recently that the average man is now like 185, and that was up almost 50 lbs from just before WW2.
So upon further review, you might be right that it was that other fella, because Wadlow probably would have dwarfed the other guy by an even greater margin.
In any case, a great old photo.
