Circus Clown Clowns Eating Monkey Pointed Scrap
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and feast your eyes on this delightful scene of jovial Victorian circus clowns enjoying a well-deserved break with a hearty meal of monkey pie! This charming late 19th century photograph, captured by an unidentified photographer, offers a glimpse into the world of circus entertainment during the Victorian era. The clowns, dressed in their colorful and elaborate costumes, are a sight to behold. Their painted faces, with their exaggerated features and cheerful expressions, add to the playful atmosphere. The clown on the left dons a classic red nose and a pointed hat, while the one on the right sports a more modern, oversized shoe and a striped hat. The center of attention, however, is the steaming plate of monkey pie before them. Monkey pie, a popular Victorian dish, was made with a savory filling of meat, fruit, and spices, topped with a layer of mashed potatoes or breadcrumbs. The clowns' eager expressions and the empty plates suggest that this meal was a delicious one. This photograph not only captures the joy and merriment of the circus but also offers a glimpse into the food and fashion of the Victorian era. It is a reminder of the simple pleasures of life and the importance of taking a moment to enjoy a good meal with good company.
