EDITORS COMMENTS
The 19th-century engraving titled ""I m afraid I m in low company!"" captures a whimsical and humorous scene that is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face. In this black and white illustration, we are transported to the world of the circus, where a clown stands amidst an array of eccentric characters. Dressed in his vibrant costume, complete with oversized shoes and a comically large hat, the clown appears both mischievous and slightly apprehensive. His expression suggests that he has found himself in an unexpected situation or surrounded by individuals who may not be as refined as he would prefer. Surrounding him are various figures including scarecrows, other clowns, and performers donning masks. The artist skillfully captures their unique attire and expressions, showcasing the diversity within this world. This engraving was originally created for "The Comic Annual" by Thomas Hood in 1836. It exemplifies the humor prevalent during that era while also providing insight into societal attitudes towards entertainment at the time. Whether you appreciate circus performances or simply enjoy lighthearted artwork, ""I m afraid I m in low company!"" is bound to entertain with its clever depiction of fear mixed with amusement. This print serves as a delightful reminder of how art can transcend time and continue to evoke joy centuries later.
