Harold Edgerton 

The Martels and Mignon Tumblers, 1942.

A bizarre creation of the multiflash, this picture taken in 1942 follows the Martels and Mignon dance team hurling one of their members high into the air, where she performs a complete somersault. Edgerton’s three pictures of this acrobatic troupe were among the earliest of his many images to appear in “LIFE” magazine, whose readers responded enthusiastically to his photography.
