Early strongwoman Katie Sandwina lifting three men at once, 1900s or 1910s

The photo was snapped just as something awakened within the middle guy.
- One of them might actually be her husband, who often participated in her routines as a human weight.
- Snu snu?

There's no strain in any of those muscles. My guess is that black background is designed to hide whatever contraption is supporting the men.
- It's the early days of really crap camera film that needed about a minute of exposure time. She probably could lift three men at once - if she found three horse jockeys, that might be less than 120 kg - but couldn't hold the pose completely motionless for the time needed to take the picture. Hence the 'carefully staged' photo.
That's a really long right arm.
I worry for the heels on those shoes.
