This is a great original antique circa 1910 photograph of four Circus Sideshow Fat Men. A very atmospheric image. A rare glimpse of a group of fat performers seated outside of a Freak Show tent while dressed in ridiculous and silly looking costumes. Depicted here is “Big Ed” Edward Starn and family. Their alleged weights are posted in the background beside each person. The photo is genuinely old. It is in good vintage condition with some normal expected age wear. A little lightness, some yellowing and a minor crease in the upper right corner border. No serious problems. This is quite a fine item. A very collectible piece of history.
