EDITORS COMMENTS
When Three is a Crowd" is a captivating and whimsical photograph by the renowned British photographer, Florence Hardy. This enchanting image, captured in the early 20th century, transports us back in time to a simpler era, where the world of clowning was filled with charm and romance. Two little boys, dressed in elaborate clown costumes, sit on a quaint wooden bench. Their faces are painted with the traditional pierrot makeup - white base, red nose, and exaggerated black lines. Their costumes, adorned with sequins, bells, and colorful patterns, add to their playful and mischievous demeanor. The focus of their attention is a fellow female clown, who stands nearby, her gaze fixed on one of the boys. Her elegant clown dress, with its frilly collar and voluminous skirt, is a sight to behold. The boys, in their jealousy and desire for her affections, seem to forget their usual antics and vie for her attention. The photograph is a beautiful representation of the complex emotions that can arise in even the most unexpected of places. The history of clowning is rich with tales of love, jealousy, and camaraderie, and this image encapsulates the essence of those stories. The intricate details of the costumes, the playful expressions on the faces of the clowns, and the romantic tension in the air all contribute to a captivating and timeless image. This photograph, with its historical significance and artistic merit, is a must-have for any collection of vintage photographs or those interested in the history of clowning. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of clowns and their ability to evoke emotions and transport us to another time and place.
