Early strongwoman Katie Sandwina lifting three men at once, 1900s or 1910s

One of them might actually be her husband, who often participated in her routines as a human weight.

"I quite enjoy being the meat in this sandwich, yes I do."

It's the early days of really crap camera film that needed about a minute of exposure time. She probably could lift three men at once - if she found three horse jockeys, that might be less than 120 kg - but couldn't hold the pose completely motionless for the time needed to take the picture. Hence the 'carefully staged' photo.
