confidence

Is she in an empty swimming pool???

"On August 10, 1913 Dolly Meyer and Myrtle Wright ventured the Golden Gate crossing [San Francisco, California -- before the Golden Gate Bridge was built] and both succeeded in their goal, the former with a time of one hour 28 minutes, the latter a much quicker one hour and 31 seconds. Members of the California Life Saving and Swimming Club, they were started by Captain Clark, who set them off at 11 a.m. on their course from Fort Point to Lime Point."

I love the sense of beauty captured in her face. She seems very confident in pursuing her endeavors through her body movement. This picture is just magnificent!

Fancy having a lion, tiger, horse, goat, and monkeys living next door? Poor Mr Jarvis did. Read about 'Queensland's worst neighbour' at our John Oxley Library Blog: blogs.slq.qld.gov.au/jol/2010/02/05/queenslands-worst-nei...

That article is priceless!

I can confirm there are two lions in that photo. The lions were obtained from Melbourne zoo and integrated into the act. It was first performed in Brisbane in May 1903 Ref: THE "INNER LIFE" OF A MODERN CIRCUS. (1903, May 23). The Queenslander (Brisbane, Qld. : 1866 - 1939), p. 22 Supplement: Unknown.

Liz Clark Thank you for confirming where the lions came from. Great to read the article from the Queenslander about Wirth's Circus. We will add this detail to the image record. Thank you

You're welcome. Here's the blog post I wrote about it today. circuszooanimals.blogspot.co.nz/2015/03/an-ocular-demonst...

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called children pictures, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

What an odd composition -- perhaps intended to be cropped in printing?
