This is the original artwork for the front of the Sunday supplement on January 26, 1902. Photographs were printed within the four blank panels, each of which already had a caption. The article appeared on page six of the supplement and refers to the Grigolatis, a renowned German group of ballet aerialists performing in New York at the time.
