EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "CIRCUS ANIMALS, 1888. Some funny things at Barnum s" takes us back to the late 19th century when the circus was a spectacle of wonder and excitement. Created by Frederick Church in 1888, this drawing captures the essence of a lively circus performance. The image showcases an array of fascinating characters that make up the vibrant world of Barnum's Circus. A clown with a comically oversized costume elicits laughter from the audience as he performs tricks alongside his trusty dog. A talented seal balances a ball on its nose while a mischievous duck waddles nearby, adding to the whimsical atmosphere. Intriguingly, amidst all these performing animals is an unexpected presence - a pig! Perhaps it too has mastered some amusing trick or simply adds an element of surprise to this already extraordinary scene. Church's detailed illustration transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand the joy and amazement experienced by spectators during those magical moments under Barnum's big top. The artist's skillful use of lines brings each character to life, capturing their unique personalities and creating an engaging narrative within this single frame. This vintage print serves as both a delightful reminder of our fascination with circuses past and as a testament to Church's artistic talent in capturing such fleeting moments forever on paper.
