EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'Confidants,' transports us back to the late Victorian era, around the turn of the 20th century. The photograph, circa 1900, presents a charming scene of a clown and his female companion, both dressed in intriguing attire that adds to the enigma of their relationship. The clown, with a mischievous grin, strums the strings of his mandolin, his eyes sparkling with amusement. His red nose and painted face add to the whimsical atmosphere, while his partner, clad in a flowing cloak and mask, leans in close, her hand covering her mouth to stifle a laugh. The mask, adorned with delicate lace and feathers, conceals her identity, adding an air of mystery to the duo. The intimate moment they share, filled with laughter and joy, is a testament to their connection. The dimly lit background and soft focus on the couple further emphasizes their bond, creating an ethereal and dreamlike atmosphere. The use of black and white adds to the nostalgic feel, transporting us back to a time where laughter and joy were simple pleasures. The image, from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a reminder of the power of humor and companionship, even in the most unexpected of places - the circus. It invites us to ponder the story behind the scene and the connection between the confidants, leaving us with a sense of wonder and delight.
