EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era in circus entertainment. In the center of the frame stands Clown Joe Jackson, Sr. , known for his comedic brilliance and skillful bicycle act. Dressed in a ragged hobo costume with a classic clown hat perched on his head, Jackson exudes an air of mischievousness that is both endearing and intriguing. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the bicycle that accompanies him. This trusty companion has been witness to countless performances, carrying Jackson effortlessly across stages around the world. Its worn appearance tells tales of daring tricks executed flawlessly, eliciting laughter from audiences far and wide. As we gaze at this photograph taken around 1920, we are transported back to a time when vaudeville was at its peak and clowns were revered as masters of their craft. The interior setting adds an intimate touch to this glimpse into Jackson's world, reminding us that even behind all the makeup and costumes lies a domestic life waiting to be lived. With his exaggerated features - from his Austrian nose to his oversized horn - Clown Joe Jackson embodies both comedy and drama within one character. His presence on stage must have brought joy to many faces during those early years of theatrical performance. This Granger Collection print serves as a testament not only to Joe Jackson's legacy but also to the enduring allure of circus arts throughout history.
