Synopsis: This page shows two circus acrobats. The first acrobat stands facing forward at the bottom of the page, while the second one balances upside down, on one hand, on the first acrobat's head. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. At the bottom of the page are the feet of the first acrobat, who is supporting the second acrobat. Above these are his legs wearing tights, and his bare chest. Up again are his strong shoulders with his arms held out wide to the left and right, to make his stance more stable. He wears bands on his wrists to reduce the risk of injury. His head is bearing the weight of the second acrobat further up the page who is balancing on one hand. The second acrobat wears a band on his wrist, and his arm continues vertically up the page. To the right of this his upside-down head can be found, and to the right again is his other arm wearing a wristband. Up the page from his head are his bare chest and his two legs stretched out to the left and right to help him balance.
