EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and gather 'round, as we take a peek into the past with this image of a Black clown playing the concertina on a Victorian-era Christmas card. Dating back to the 1890s, this charming print showcases the joy and merriment of the holiday season, as well as the rich history of Black musical traditions in America. The clown, dressed in colorful, playful attire, dons a white, pointed hat adorned with red pom-poms, adding to the festive atmosphere. With a mischievous grin and a twinkle in his eye, he skillfully plays the concertina, an early form of the accordion, creating a lively tune that resonates with the spirit of the season. As the tarara, boomdeay of his song echoes through the room, the clown's infectious energy brings laughter and delight to all who witness his performance. This image serves as a reminder of the important role Black musicians and entertainers played in American history, particularly during the late Victorian era when circuses and minstrel shows were popular forms of entertainment. The intricately designed Christmas card, with its intricate border and detailed illustrations, further highlights the artistic craftsmanship of the time. This precious piece of history invites us to celebrate the joy, diversity, and rich musical heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
