Biographical Note
Lou Jacobs (born Johann Ludwig Jacob in 1903 in Bremerhaven, Germany), was an Auguste Master Clown who performed for Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus for about 60 years from 1925 to 1985. In 1966, Jacobs' now-famous clown face was put on a newly issued United States postage stamp. He was later inducted into the International Clown Hall of Fame in 1989. Jacobs died on Sunday, September 13, 1992 in Sarasota, Florida.
Joseph Janney Steinmetz was a world-renowned commercial photographer whose images appeared in such publications as the Saturday Evening Post, Life, Look, Time, Holiday, Collier's, and Town & Country. His work has been referred to as "an American social history," which documented diverse scenes of American life from affluent northeasterners to middle-class Floridians. Steinmetz moved from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Sarasota, Florida in 1941.
