Clownabend im Circus

Albrecht, Henry, Meisenbach, Riffarth und Co · 1894 · 1 picture

A German book of circus clown scenes published in 1894, credited to Henry Albrecht with the Meisenbach, Riffarth und Co printing firm, apparently aimed at a general audience of readers. Its pictures are rows of black silhouettes of clowns, horses and acrobats on a pale ground, showing how a figure's outline alone can carry a lively narrative and how strips of repeated action can structure a page.
