In response to yesterday's photo of Pepito here is a photo of Ramper, the inspiration for Pepito's makeup.
The attached picture is of the Spanish clown Ramper (Ramón Álvarez Escudero, Madrid, 1893- Sevilla, 1952).
He was, along with Tonetti, the most famous clown in his country. As with the Fratellinis in France, he inspired lots of illustrated books and children's toys, today priced collector items.
