Constantenus of Albania, or Greece, or Burma from F.Hebra's Atlas der Hautkrankheiten, Vienna 1856.Also known as Prince Constantine of Greece, Alexandrino, Captain Georgi, Tsavella, The Turk, The Living Picture Gallery, and The Tattooed Man of Burma, he was the first tattooed man to be made famous by Barnum. He was paid one thousand dollars a week to exhibit a total of 388 (or 325) animals tattooed upon him in Burmese style, from the soles of his feet to his scalp.He sold pamphlets describing his tattoos and his alleged abduction "by Chinese Cannibal Natives". Unfortunately there is no picture of his entire body, let alone his groin and buttocks.
