Clowns 'copyright' their face by having them painted on eggs, Clowns Museum, Wookey Hole, Somerset, Britain - Mar 2009

Grimaldi clown egg
Faces On Their Eggs
FACES ON THEIR EGGS
Clowns are normally associated with having egg on their faces, but at the Clowns Museum in Somerset's Wookey Hole the roles are reversed - this time their faces are on eggs.
Since 1946 all clowns affiliated to the UK's Clowns International organisation, the oldest such established association in the world, have had their trademark face paint designs painted on to an egg to preserve their unique faces for posterity. Today the eggs are ceramic but the principle remains the same.
The museum's collection numbers 400 eggs and includes such famous names as Coco the Clown, Joseph Grimaldi, Charlie Cairoli and Sir Robert Fosset.
Manager of the museum's exhibition, Matthew Faint, told the Sunday Express newspaper:
"The egg collection was started in 1946 by Stan Bult, the founder of Clowns International. He was a Victorian gentleman and an analytical chemist but had a great interest in clowns and clowning.
'He started painting the clowns on real eggs but then it was very much like a diagram and pretty basic; today they are far more detailed."
Clowns registered to the association send pictures of themselves to a specialist artist who then recreates their style right down to the costume and hairstyle.
