The Brothers Webb - Costume

[SteveS]

Found this picture in Victoria & Albert Museum of a costume belonging to JoJo & Bute Webb.

 

"With white faces, red noses and little black hats, they toured variety theatres in Britain and Europe from the 1890s until about 1918, clowning, dancing, and playing an assortment of unlikely comical instruments including concertinas, banjos and fairy bells hidden in their baggy costumes."
