A signed photograph of the world champion walking on a rope, NIK WALLENDA while crossing Niagara Falls in 2012. With a certificate of authenticity.

WALLENDA Born in 1979, the seventh generation of a well-known circus family, he holds nine Guinness records on acrobatic stunts, the most notable of which is a 550-meter-long rope that stretches over the Niagara Falls in June 2012 in heavy fog and strong winds. Thus setting a world record over its predecessors (the Great Blondine 150 years earlier) who crossed the Niagara on a rope in much narrower places. A year later he became the first person in history to cross the Grand Canyon by walking a 460-meter-long rope at a height of 1500 meters, without security. In March 2020, Walenda crossed by walking on a rope above active volcano. Although Welanda's appearances on the rope are dangerous on a global scale he has never stumbled or been injured during them. Wallenda was asked many times why he risked his life by walking on a rope at tremendous heights over and over again, and he replied: 'I know that for a normative person I look like a madman, but walking on a rope is in my blood, something for which I was created.'

One of the impressive photographs taken in the 21st century.

Size: 25x21 cm. very good condition.
