This beautiful painting (no date available) is by Victor Coleman Anderson and shows what was called in old circus a Lady Trick Rider – a somewhat different routine to the Lady Ballerina.

My mother Carrie (Fossett) Sandow could perform both routines and also the routine known as ‘the double act’ meaning, with my father as the bearer performing balancing routines upon one horse or perhaps two horses side by side. These are great acts of traditional circus.

Here we see another fine painting by Victor Coleman Anderson (perhaps someone might supply the occcasion and the date?). It shows the wonderful subject of two girls taking part within a group equestrian display.

This fine painting shows some American Circus horses housed within the horse tent. Artist, Edward B. Quigley. Unfortunately I do not have knowledge about the circus or the year of the painting.
