EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon, titled "The Brothers Griffiths: Athletic Drolls," dates back to August 30, 1884, and was published in the satirical weekly magazine, "Bryan's Entracte." The illustration showcases two clowns, the Brothers Griffiths, who were renowned for their athletic and humorous performances during the Victorian era. Dressed in their colorful costumes, the clowns don pointed hats adorned with painted faces, striped trousers, and stripy shirts. Their exaggerated features and exaggerated expressions add to the comic effect, making them a source of endless amusement for their audience. The Brothers Griffiths were a popular act in the circus world of the 1880s, known for their droll antics and athletic prowess. Their performances often involved acrobatics, juggling, and other feats of agility, all executed with a wink and a smile. The brothers' ability to blend humor and athleticism made them a favorite among audiences, who were drawn to their unique brand of entertainment. This cartoon captures the essence of the Brothers Griffiths' act, with the two clowns engaging in a playful interaction, their faces a study in contrasting expressions. The use of bold lines and vibrant colors adds to the overall effect, making this a visual treat for anyone interested in the history of circus and comedy. The Brothers Griffiths and their Athletic Drolls continue to be a source of fascination, a reminder of a time when entertainment was more about the human spirit and the power of a well-timed joke.
