There are three basic types of clowns:
 |  |  |
| The Whiteface clown is the oldest and most well-known of the clowns | The Auguste clown is the least intelligent, and zaniest of the clowns | The character clown is most commonly represented by the Sad Tramp or Happy Hobo |
Special thanks to Jim Howle, for the graphics of the clowns found on these pages.
