Early CDV of the celebrated French acrobatic performer and aerialist who developed the art of trapeze, popularised the one-piece gym wear that now bears his name, and who inspired the 1867 song "The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze" sung by George Leybourne. Slightly low in contrast, but otherwise in fine condition. Without photographer identification on the mount. 6.2 x 10.5 cm.
