Barbara Trapezist

The Sandow Sisters famous trapeze act toured the top theatre venues until 1955 when Margaret settled down to marriage and a quieter lifestyle perhaps. My elder sister Violet decided to find another partner to tour the forthcoming engagements calendar so for the next two years until the Autumn of 1957 this young dancer, Barbara from Manchester, filled the place excellently. After 1957 Barbara then toured  the Continent with an established acrobatic hand-balancing act.

This is my water colour of her.
