EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the whimsical world of a Harlequin making a shadow puppet dog. Taken by an anonymous French photographer in the 20th century, this image is part of a private collection that showcases the artistry and creativity of Harlequins. In this postcard from the early 20th century, we see the Harlequin skillfully manipulating his hands to create the illusion of a playful canine companion. The intricate details of his costume, complete with diamonds and silhouettes, add to the charm and mystery surrounding this character. The Harlequin's mask hides his true identity as he entertains audiences with his comedic performance. His hat adorned with diamonds adds an extra touch of elegance to his ensemble. With a walking stick in hand, he exudes confidence and grace as he brings life to shadows on stage. This photograph perfectly captures the essence of commedia dell'arte - a form of Italian theater known for its masked characters and physical comedy. The Great Dane silhouette created by the Harlequin's skilled hands adds depth to this artistic composition. As we gaze at this mesmerizing image, we are transported back in time to witness one moment in history where laughter filled theaters and clowns like our enigmatic Harlequin brought joy through their craft.
