I lifted this picture from my 1925 Ringling-Barnum program where Miss Wirth was featured in a display of bareback riders. She had been on the show at least 10 years dating back to Ringling Bros. Worlds Greatest Shows.

Display No. 10- The most remarkable and distinctive of all riding events. Presenting May Wirth, the greatest bareback rider that ever lived. Hailing from the Antipodes she is world-hailed by universal acclaim for her daring and superb artistry.
