Lucile Blanch

Tight Rope Walker
1928

Illustration of a whimsical circus scene featuring a variety of performers: two women in bodysuits standing on a high platform, a woman in a large hat and pink swimsuit in the center, two men in wrestling attire, and a man in a suit by a rolled-up mat. The background includes a large umbrella and a tightrope with a small figure balancing on it. The image has a vintage, hand-colored appearance and includes mathematical notations at the bottom.
