One included walking out with a wood stove on his back, then cooking ham and eggs while on the rope. You can read more about Charles Hilton's stunts in an online Sun Journal article entitled, "Charles Hilton - The man who tightrope-walked Great Falls". Period pencil written identification on the reverse, "Hilton walking the tightrope". Photographic stereoview is mounted on slightly curved mount board which is about 7" x 3-1/2". Condition: partial loss on left image in upper right corner. overall some surface soiling, scuffs, and edge wear.
