Circus Schumann. ca. 1910.
Moos presents us with an unconventional vision of the circus: there's no "greatest show ever" text, no costumed performers or acrobats, and no grand circus tent. Instead, he shows a herd of horses kicking up dirt as they engage in a round of "pushball." Albert Schumann was an equestrian and circus director; he built the Albert Schumann Theater in Frankfurt in 1905 and acquired the Renz Circus in Berlin in 1918. His acts with horses gained such renown that "Schumannship" became a popular descriptor for his second-to-none capabilities.
