This photograph shows Eileen Moxon (1910-1990) and her daughter Judy (b.1932) performing their foot-juggling act in Devon in 1948. Eileen Moxon was one of the thirteen childreen of Edwin, or Ted, Moxon (1857-1945) who ran away from home to join the circus when he was 17, and travelled all over the world performing a foot-juggling act in circuses and variety theatres. He performed in Russia for seven years, spoke several languages fluently and had thirteen children. When they were mature enough, the two eldest children were trained in foot juggling to become part of the family act, the Moxon Trio. Eileen later formed her own foot-juggling act, first with her brother, and in the late 1940s as Levanda and Van with her daughter Judy, who went on to perform the act independently in the 1960s.

The photograph was given by Edwin Moxon's grand-daughter Judy, along with posters showing her grandfather's act, a pair of his acrobatic trunks, and a programme for London Rhapsody at the Palladium Theatre, September 1937, illustrated with an image of her mother performing the act, as well as her juggling clubs made by her grandfather.
