Clowns have continued to fascinate, awe, and disturb the American public since the early 19th century. This painting reflects a peculiar atmosphere of the circus that so many American’s desired to enter with the price of a ticket. The background features text from an advertisement in the Farmer’s Cabinet (1877), highlighting the International quality of clowns. The text reads:
“4 Famous Clowns, Very glib of tongue, and full of incident, anecdote mirth, and song, representing the four respective nations as follows:Mr. John Foster, America; Mr. George Dunbar, England; Mr. M. McCollum, Germany; Mr. Felix Langlois, France”
