EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of astonishment and wonder as a daring showman, believed to be Alexander from the famed Ringling Brothers Circus, descends a set of steps on his head. Known for his extraordinary and unusual act, Alexander, along with his brother Felix, captivated audiences with their bizarre and odd feats. The image, taken circa 1907, shows the man in mid-descent, his body contorted in a way that defies the laws of gravity. The onlookers and spectators, some with open mouths and wide-eyed expressions, bear witness to the remarkable sight. The Man Who Walks on His Head was an iconic figure in the world of entertainment, pushing the boundaries of what was possible and leaving a lasting impression on all who saw him perform. This photograph is a testament to the power of human ingenuity and the enduring allure of the unusual and weird.
