EDITORS COMMENTS
Father William Somersault: A Victorian Clergyman's Unconventional Adventure This photograph, titled "Father William Does a Back-Somersault," features the Reverend William Carroll Somersault (1832-1901), an intriguing figure from Victorian England. Father Somersault, also known as "Father Will," was a clergyman, author, and performer, who gained notoriety for his unique combination of religious devotion and acrobatic prowess. The image, published in 1865 by Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases Father Somersault in mid-air, executing a perfect back-somersault. Dressed in his clerical attire, the reverend defies expectations, demonstrating a sense of playfulness and agility that contrasts with the traditional image of a Victorian clergyman. Father Somersault's unconventional approach to his role as a clergyman began when he was ordained in 1857. He soon began to incorporate elements of physical comedy and acrobatics into his sermons, using them to engage and entertain his congregation. His performances were often accompanied by his published works, which included "The Clergyman's Guide to the Circus" and "The Clergyman's Guide to the Theatre." Despite initial skepticism from some in the Church, Father Somersault's unique blend of faith and entertainment proved to be a success. He toured England and the United States, performing for audiences that were captivated by his combination of wit, wisdom, and acrobatics. This photograph, a testament to Father Somersault's adventurous spirit and boundless energy, offers a glimpse into the life of a Victorian clergyman who defied conventions and captured the imagination of his time. The image, with its intriguing subject and historical significance, is a fascinating addition to any collection of Victorian photographs or studies of religious history.
