Ringling Bros./Hillary Long. 1917.
Who puts his skates upon his head and wears his hat upon his feet while accomplishing apparently impossible stunts? Hillary Long, that’s who! The intrepid upside down artist shares a lithographic two-part version of his act, descending a staircase and making a leap across a gap utilizing a pair of inclined platforms. That’s using the old noggin, all right.
