Lebendes Affentheater : Ein Ziehbilderbuch
A German pull-tab picture book by Lothar Meggendorfer, published by F. F. Schreiber in 1893, with animals dressed as people performing in a circus ring. The pictures show a horse-riding monkey, dogs playing music, an elephant at a table, and a bear and pig balancing on a seesaw. A designer might take the lively staging, the bright flat colour, and the humour of animals acting as performers from these scenes.
