Victorian Scrap: A Humorous Moment at the Circus - "Whoa Plunger!", late 19th century. In this image from the Victorian era, a circus clown attempts to mount a recalcitrant donkey, adding an element of humor and unpredictability to the grand spectacle of the circus ring. The clown, with his painted face and oversized shoes, is dressed in the traditional red and white striped suit, complete with a red nose and a large, floppy hat. His expression is one of determination and concentration, as he reaches out to grasp the donkey's ears, trying to gain control of the animal. The donkey, on the other hand, seems to have other plans. Its ears are pinned back, and its eyes are wide with fear or annoyance, as it bucks and kicks, trying to escape the clown's grasp. The clown's assistant, standing nearby, holds a red plunger, ready to intervene if necessary. The audience, gathered around the ring, watches with rapt attention, their faces a mix of amusement, excitement, and anticipation. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the world of Victorian entertainment, where circus performers and their animal acts delighted and amazed audiences with their daring feats and comedic antics. The image captures the spirit of the time, when the circus was a popular form of mass entertainment, and the joy and wonder of the experience were shared by people of all ages and backgrounds.
