EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of pure joy and laughter in the world of entertainment. Titled "Trick in the Comic Dance in Mother Goose - Mr Grimaldi & Mr Bologna" this engraving by O Keeffe, created around 1805, showcases two legendary clowns, Joseph Grimaldi and Jack Bologna. The image depicts these talented performers mid-dance, their exaggerated expressions and animated movements bringing a sense of whimsy to the scene. Known for his innovative contributions to clowning, Joseph Grimaldi is credited as the inventor of the modern-day white-faced clown. His partner, Jack Bologna, adds another layer of comedy to their act. Performed at Sadlers Wells in 1805, Mother Goose was undoubtedly a highlight for audiences during that time. The print offers us a glimpse into this memorable performance filled with comic antics and clever tricks. It also hints at an element of cross-dressing or transvestism within the act. Published by A. Neil on Strand Street, this print has become part of a private collection but continues to captivate viewers with its timeless humor and charm. Whether you are drawn to dance or simply appreciate comedic artistry, this image is sure to bring a smile to your face as it celebrates the enduring legacy of these two iconic figures in entertainment history.
