This film archived by Huntley Film Archives shows a couple of clowns doing a hat throwing routine in 1890s England.
This is a great demonstration of the advanced physical skills used in clowning. The acrobatics are just insane.

Another video of one of the memorial services for Joseph Grimaldi, although the exact date of this footage is not mentioned as far as I can see. The video was uploaded in 2020.
It has some fun bits of trivia, one that stuck out to me is that the clowns were not allowed to wear full costumes during the service until 1967! These services started in 1946, what took them so long?
The visual of so many silly clowns in a church is too good!
