title: CLOWNS, WHITE AND AUGUSTO

subject date: 2016-02-05

caption: CLOWN couple of clowns, the White and Augustus, classical figures of the Western tradition circus; the first (dressed in white and with a pointed hat) is authoritarian, strict, precise, skilful and able to do; the second is incapable, clumsy and bewildered (oversize dresses and giant shoes). Their interaction with so opposing characters gives rise to comic moments enter- tainment. No. 7 - the White grins, taking off a shoe, while the very aggressive Augusto threatens him with clenched fists; increases the comic effect with the written joke spelling rather questionable (maybe dialect): Je ELAIS trés vexé! (J'ai été trés vexé, I was very offended). Figurine French chromolithographic, XIX century
