EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and feast your eyes on this image of a Victorian-era clown in his vibrant red and yellow costume, circa 1880s. The clown, with an expressive painted face, dons a ruff collar and a tall, conical hat adorned with a pompom. His outfit is complete with oversized red shoes and yellow pants, held up by a red sash. The clown's ruff neck is a characteristic feature of the Victorian era, adding an air of elegance to his otherwise playful and whimsical appearance. The use of bold colors and intricate details in his costume reflects the extravagance and showmanship of the circus and variety entertainment of the time. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history of circus and clowning, which has captivated audiences for centuries. The clown's painted face, with its exaggerated features and exaggerated expressions, was designed to elicit laughter and delight from the audience, making him a beloved figure in Victorian entertainment. The clown's costume, with its bright colors and playful details, was a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship of the performers and costume designers of the era. This image is a reminder of the joy and wonder that the circus brought to people during the Victorian age, and continues to bring to audiences today.
