... that before Richard Ellis became a photographer (photograph pictured), he was a tightrope walker in a traveling circus? Source: "...the young Richard was apprenticed to James and Sara Conroy who were part of a travelling circus. Becoming an accomplished tightrope walker, Richard toured in Europe with the Conroys..." ("Richard Ellis: The Man And His Legacy". The Malta Independent. 13 May 2012)
Overall: Article is new enough, long enough and interesting hook. No copyvio issues and QPQ done. The lead may be a little long for the article, but overall a solid article, well done. SamCordes (talk) 06:53, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
