Circus Clown Clowns Hairstyle Paint Performance Pointed Scrap Scraps Performing
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and feast your eyes on this delightful Victorian-era scene of two jovial clowns sharing a lighthearted moment with a monkey pie! Dating back to the 1870s, this charming photograph print captures the whimsy and humor of the circus world during an era of grand performances and elaborate costumes. The clowns, dressed in their colorful and intricately painted attire, don pointed hats adorned with multicolored tassels and feathers. Their exaggerated hairstyles, complete with curly red, white, green, yellow, and blue wigs, add to the playful and fantastical atmosphere. The clown on the left wears a red and white striped costume, while his companion sports a green and yellow ensemble. Their faces are painted with bold, comic designs, including red noses, oversized mouths, and expressive eyes. In their hands, they hold a monkey pie, a traditional circus dessert made of fruit, mincemeat, or other fillings, covered in a thick layer of pastry and topped with a crust in the shape of a monkey's head. This image not only showcases the unique fashion and entertainment of the Victorian era but also highlights the camaraderie and fun-loving spirit of the clowns as they share a laugh and a sweet treat. A true treasure for history buffs, collectors, or anyone with a love for the circus and its rich past.
