EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Richard George Knowles, a music hall entertainer and master of the art of "daring" acts, in the prime of his career during a Variety performance in 1895. The image, titled "The Daring Diesur," showcases Knowles' daring and fearless demeanor as he balances precariously on a battered hat, poised to leap into the unknown. With a confident and determined expression, he captivates the audience with his daring antics. Born in 1858, Richard George Knowles began his career in music halls in the late 1870s. He quickly gained a reputation for his daring acts, which often involved great heights, dangerous stunts, and precarious balancing acts. His performances were a staple of Variety shows throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Despite the risks involved, Knowles' acts were always met with thunderous applause and admiration from audiences. His daring feats were a testament to his physical prowess and his ability to captivate and entertain. This photograph, taken in 1905, captures the essence of Knowles' performances and his enduring legacy as a music hall entertainer. As the years passed, Knowles continued to push the boundaries of what was possible in his acts, always striving to outdo himself and keep his audiences on the edge of their seats. He retired from the stage in 1919, leaving behind a rich and enduring legacy in the world of music hall entertainment. This photograph serves as a reminder of the thrill and excitement of the music hall era and the daring performers who made it so memorable.
