Acrobatic act on a piano top. Unusual high angle shot of a drawing room setting. A man sits at the piano and a woman sits on it! The woman jumps off the piano, the man walks around the piano to join her. The man does a handstand on the piano aided by the woman. (Their names are Maxon and Wood but I don't know which is which). He walks on his hands on the piano. The woman leans backwards onto the piano and the man does a handstand on her hands. High angle shot of the acrobatics. The man turns to look at the camera.
The woman climbs up on the piano and leans backwards into a "crab". The man then does a handstand on her stomach! She then sticks one of her legs out. The woman places a handkerchief on the piano and then the woman bands over backwards to pick it up with her teeth, at the same time lifting the man up into the air with her thighs! (Has to be seen to be believed!) They jump down and take a bow.

Adrenaline seekers from the past have left an indelible mark on the Pathe archive. Some were so dangerous they even lost their lives. Here are 10 top daredevils.

The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.
The images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.
The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
