Original B&W print on gray cardboard mount. View of a performance at the Richmond County Fair in Dongan Hills, Staten Island. A woman is balancing a safety bicycle on a high-wire; she looks straight ahead and holds both arms out to her sides. She wears what appears to be a one-piece costume with tights. A man stands alongside, looking up at her; numerous other men's heads are visible in the background (seen from behind a wall or platform). (Keywords: New York City, Early Twentieth Century) |
