EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of camaraderie between Marceline the Droll, the renowned Spanish clown, and Mr. Otto Twigg, the charismatic ringmaster of London's Hippodrome, in 1901. Marceline, whose stage name was sometimes spelled as Marcelline, was a popular performer at the Hippodrome during its inaugural years, beginning in 1900. Known for her unique blend of comedy and tragedy, she captivated audiences with her droll antics and expressive face. Mr. Twigg, an esteemed ringmaster, presided over the Hippodrome's diverse lineup of acts, which included everything from circus performances to variety shows and theatre productions. In this image, the two entertainers share a lighthearted moment, their connection palpable as they engage in a playful exchange.
