This print shows a clown in a bright suit, mid-jump with arms wide. The ink lines are bold and scratchy. The background is simple—just a plain floor and a faint wall. It’s one of three plates called *West’s New Plate of Clowns in Various Positions*. The printer left room for color if you wanted to add it yourself. That was common back then. If you like this old-school style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
