Title: Ringling Circus clown Emmett Kelly in a bubble bath: Sarasota, Florida
Date: ca. 1955
General note: Photo taken as a favor to Kelly, who wanted the image for his Christmas card. Joe's wife, Lois Foley Steinmetz, was crouched down out of sight behind the chair that held Kelly's clothing, with an egg beater in her hand.
