EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the strength and determination of Atlas and Vulcana, also known as Hedley Roberts and Miriam Kate Williams, a legendary strongman and strongwoman duo who captivated audiences in Britain, Europe, and Australia during the early 20th century. In this image, Atlas, with his powerful physique and steely gaze, showcases his impressive strength through a classic pose, while Vulcana, equally impressive, demonstrates her agility and grace. Together, they formed the Atlas and Vulcana Group of Society Athletes, touring the continent with their children, some of whom also joined them in their performances. The family-run act featured awe-inspiring displays of strength, leaving audiences in wonder and admiration. Circa 1913, this photograph encapsulates the spirit of their groundbreaking shows, which brought the thrill of strength and athleticism to the masses.
