1886 Circus Clown Ring Performing
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and feast your eyes on this moment from the annals of circus history! In this stunning photograph from 1886, captured by an unidentified photographer and now available through Mary Evans Picture Library, we find a circus clown in the center ring, surrounded by five exuberant and well-trained dogs. The clown, with his painted face and colorful costume, is mid-performance, engaging the audience with his playful antics and slapstick humor. The dogs, dressed in collars and leashes, are poised and focused, their tails wagging in excitement as they await their cue. The circus, a beloved form of entertainment that has captivated audiences for centuries, reached new heights of popularity in the late 19th century. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the circus was a true spectacle, a place where the impossible seemed possible, and where the bond between performer and animal was a thing of wonder. The use of animals in the circus dates back to its earliest days, with equestrian acts, acrobats, and trained bears and elephants all featuring prominently. The inclusion of dogs in the circus was a natural extension of this tradition, and the relationship between clowns and their canine companions has become a cherished part of circus lore. This photograph is not only a testament to the enduring appeal of the circus, but also a reminder of the important role that animals have played in shaping the history of this unique art form. So take a moment to appreciate the beauty and the wonder of this bygone era, and let the magic of the circus live on in your imagination!
