Entitled: A Text Book on the Art of Sword Swallowing. Explaining How To do it Sixteen Different Ways. Illustrated from Life by the World's Greatets Sword Swallowers, the Victorinas." Joseph Hollingsworth (1872 - 1956) was an American vaudevillian who billed himself and his troupe under a variety of names; Joe van Victorina, Victorina, Kar-Mi, the Victorinas, and Victorina Troupe. His act included magic, sword swallowing and sharpshooting tricks. He retired from vaudeville during the 1930s, when he was in his 60's. He died in 1956 at the age of 84. Research has been unable to uncover whether or not Hollingsworth is the author of this book. © New York Public Library / Science Source
