The most likely explanation is the abundance of food versus the population size. The population in 1750 was less than in 1900 so the amount of food per head was greater thus leading to a better diet and, not to put too fine a point on it, chubbier figures.

However you do have to consider the localized famines in 1750. This led to some having rather gaunt figures though others became bloated with starvation.
