Im Zirkus
Im Zirkus is a German illustrated sheet of circus scenes by Oskar Merté, published in 1892 for a general readership. Its pictures show horses in harness and ring riding, performing elephants, and acrobats, all drawn in dense black-and-white halftone-like linework. A designer could take the crowded multi-panel layout and the dynamic animal poses as models for editorial spreads on circus or spectacle themes.
