Description: | 'Ella Zuila' was the stage name of the most famous Australian public entertainer of the 1880s. Billed as a ‘Funambulist’, she performed death-defying acrobatic feats, entertaining audiences all over the world. Her act included carrying children across tightropes - sometimes blindfolded - and lifting men long distances on her back. Her career was ended by a terrible injury incurred riding a bicycle across a highwire in Dublin. Ella's real name has been lost to history. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Leisure And The Arts Theatre Trade And Economics | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
