EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enigmatic presence of a clown, circa 1939, as he gazes upwards with a distinct lack of a smile. The image, reminiscent of the 1930s and 30s, invites the viewer to ponder the depths of this enigmatic character. The clown's expressive eyes, painted with intricate detail, seem to tell a story of their own, hinting at a complex emotional landscape beneath the red nose and colorful attire. The photograph, which would have been used for advertisement purposes, showcases the artistry and skill of the photographer and the make-up artist. The clown's costume, with its frayed collar and worn-out shoes, adds to the sense of nostalgia and the passing of time. The annual buyers' guide, "Gee Watson," may have featured this photograph, showcasing the unique and captivating images that graced the pages of advertising campaigns during this era. Despite the clown's melancholic expression, the photograph exudes a sense of charm and wonder, inviting the viewer to imagine the stories that lie behind the painted face. The image stands as a testament to the power of photography to evoke emotion and transport us to another time and place.
