"Apparatus For The Annelistes In The Nineteenth.... Acrobats, Attention."
I can't resist you "pasting, copying" a text on circus arts: Wooden cross, iron cross At the rings, no lie. Boards, suspensions, impulses and whirlwinds do not suffer any failure. Balancing on your hands, fighting against gravity to stay square between wooden or metal rings, holding the famous iron cross: more than daring (falls are rare), it's controlling a shaped, taut and muscular body that is appreciated. In the 19th century, and when these figures, now classic, were already presented on the slopes, we came to admire the gymnasiarques, whose exercises, diverted on the slopes for the benefit of the show, remind us that the era is in the development of the reasoned body work. And so, all you have to do is get started... These wrought iron apparatus, equipped with double springs, allow you to compensate for the gymnast's strength... to try... Rare item in perfect condition.
