Step right up for the Greatest Book on Earth! For more than 70
years, Clowns International--the oldest established clowning
organization--has been painting the faces of its members on eggs.
Each one is a record of a clown's unique identity, preserving the
unwritten rule that no clown should copy another's look. This
mesmerizing volume collects more than 150 of these portraits, from
1946 to the modern day, accompanied by short personal histories of
many of the clowns. Here are Tricky Nicky, Taffy, Bobo, Sammy
Sunshine, the legendary Emmett Kelly, and Jolly Jack, clowning
since 1977 and still performing today with a penguin puppet named
Biscuit. A treasure just like the eggs it enshrines, The Clown Egg
Register is an extraordinary archive of images and lives of the men
and women behind the make-up.
For over 70 years, Clowns International - the oldest established
clowning organization - has been painting the faces of its members
on eggs. Each one is a record of a clown's unique identity,
preserving the unwritten rule that no clown should copy another's
look. At first they were painted on real eggshells, then later
(when they kept breaking) on to ceramic eggs, most of which are now
housed at the Wookey Hole Clowns' Museum. Here images from this
extraordinary archive are accompanied by the stories of the men and
women behind the make-up.
