EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing chromolitho print, we are transported back to the late 19th or early 20th century, where a peculiar scene unfolds before our eyes. A clown, adorned in a vibrant and eccentric costume, stands at the entrance of a police station. With one hand raised mid-knock on the door, he holds a plate of sausages in the other. The juxtaposition of this whimsical character against the serious backdrop of law enforcement creates an air of mystery and curiosity. What could possibly be his purpose for seeking entry into such an establishment? Is he there to report a crime or perhaps seek protection from some unknown danger? As we examine closer, our attention is drawn to another peculiar detail - a syringe protruding from his pocket. This unexpected element adds an extra layer of intrigue and raises further questions about the intentions and motives behind this clown's visit. This image serves as more than just entertainment; it also carries symbolic undertones that invite us to reflect on societal norms and expectations. The clash between humor and authority challenges our preconceived notions about how individuals should present themselves within certain contexts. Whether intended as a Christmas greetings card or not, this enigmatic artwork captures both imagination and curiosity with its bizarre composition. It reminds us that even in seemingly ordinary situations like knocking on a door, there can always be hidden surprises waiting to unfold.
