EDITORS COMMENTS
Frank de Burgh, a tattooed gentleman of the late 1800s, proudly displays his intricately inked chest and forearms in this photograph from 1897. The prominent tattoos on his body tell a story of love and devotion, as they bear the name of his wife, Emma, and a forget-me-not motto, depicted on a scroll, held aloft by a maiden. The forget-me-not flower was a popular symbol of remembrance and loyalty during the Victorian era, making these tattoos a powerful expression of commitment. Frank's tattoos were not just a form of self-expression or art, but also a reflection of the growing popularity of tattoo culture during the 1890s. Tattoos, once associated with sailors and circus performers, were beginning to be embraced by the general public as a form of personal adornment. Despite the growing acceptance of tattoos, they were still considered a taboo in some circles, and Frank's tattoos would have raised eyebrows in more conventional Victorian society. However, Frank wore them with pride, embracing the unique identity they gave him. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of tattoo culture during the Victorian era. Frank's tattoos are a testament to the enduring power of love and the desire to express oneself through body art. For a more complete view of Frank's tattoos, please also see pictures 10583084 and 10583085, which show his wife's tattoos, and picture 10583083, which depicts his intricately tattooed back. These images offer a rare and captivating look into the world of tattooed bodies in the late 1800s.
