Author Description

"In 1947 the International Circus Clowns Club (now Clowns International) began employing an oddly practical method to record the unique makeup of its members: they copied each design onto an eggshell which was then placed on a register that trademarked the particular identity of each clown... these studies now form part of the Clowns' Gallery and Museum in Wookey Hole, Somerset." -- colophon.
