EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the fearless acrobat, Frank Paulo, defying gravity as he jumps upside down on a trampoline. Perched on the roof of the iconic GPO building in London, he rehearses for the annual Variety Club Charity Show at Billy Smarts Circus in Shepherds Bush. The image showcases both his incredible acrobatic skills and his audacious spirit. In this mesmerizing shot, one cannot help but be drawn to the stunning backdrop that frames Paulo's daring feat. The Central Criminal Court (The Old Bailey) stands tall and imposing, symbolizing justice and order amidst the chaos of circus stunts. And just beyond it, St Paul's Cathedral graces the skyline with its majestic presence. Taken on October 15th, 1961, this photograph transports us back to a time when such extraordinary performances were celebrated as true art forms. It reminds us of an era where architecture seamlessly blended with human ingenuity to create breathtaking spectacles. Carl Bruin's lens skillfully captures every detail - from Paulo's intense concentration to the intricate architectural features surrounding him. This image is a testament to human resilience and our unyielding desire to push boundaries. As we gaze upon this remarkable moment frozen in time, we are reminded of how even in seemingly ordinary places like rooftops or historic landmarks, extraordinary feats can unfold before our very eyes.
