Original antique 1920s sideshow mabel darpel texas circus tent tattoo photo 2×3. Small photo, 2.15×2.9 inches. This was during her sideshow days circa 1920s with her daughter at her dad’s kennedy shows. Original photo collected by Mabel darpel in 1920s. This is not any sort of recent reproduction. He had a body suit of beautiful tattoos that were put on by Bert Grimm or William Grimshaw or both (and probably others) sometime in the late 1910s. Around that same time he began tattooing on sideshows and carnivals. It was at one of William Kennedy’s sideshows where Joe met Mabel Kennedy (William’s daughter) where Joe was sideshow manager. Mabel was quite an accomplished sideshow performer as psychic, knife thrower and horse rider and later an accomplished tattooer herself. Later they were married in a carnival and they became tattooing partners, traveling with sideshows and operating tattoo shops in Virginia, Kansas and finally in Texas for many years. Joe and Mabel both painted beautiful tattoo flash that is very rare, loved and sought after by serious collectors. Condition is excellent with very gold with minor wear, age toning. Photo was glued in her album and some of that remnant is still on back of the photo. Last photo on listing is a watermarked 300 and 2400 dpi scan collage of the photo. See photos as they are part of description. Images on listing are photos of the actual item itself. +have lots of tattoo items, priced to sell. Ask any questions, inquire about other related items. +grateful for your business. I always add at least one small gift to your order.
