Description
Audience of adults and children watch street performers during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, billed as the largest arts festival in the world. Edinburgh's population doubles during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which takes place every August. Here, an acrobat holds another man above his head. Other photos of these two acrobats available in this series. Edinburgh, Scotland, UK 2007. Interesting fact: The regularly-shaped paving stones (a.k.a Belgian Block) are often mistaken for cobblestones (which, in contrast, are left in their natural irregular shape).

Description
Portrait photo circa 1860s of Edmund Ruffin - the person credited with firing the first shot of the American Civil War. Ruffin (1794 - 1865) was a farmer, slaveholder and political activist from Virginia who was an ardent supporter of the Confederacy. Opponents described him as one of the Fire-Eaters - the name given to extremist pro-slavery politicians from the South who urged southern states to form a new nation - and he is said to have fired the first shot of the war at the Battle of Fort Sumter in South Carolina on April 12 1861. Ruffin, who is also remembered for his contributions to agricultural science, wrapped himself in a Confederate flag and committed suicide on June 17 1865 when it was clear the Southern states had lost the war.
