The title\u00a0 &#8220;Circus at the Print Shop&#8221; comes from a quote from one of the printers in Prague in the 1920s where he was describing the chaos at the printing plants that was caused by the unprecedented avant-garde layouts of type and images. They were so uncoventional and technically difficult to produce with the printing technology of the time, they caused a &#8220;circus at the printing press&#8221;, in the printer&#8217;s words. &#8220;The typesetter ran around the entire print shop from one typecase to the next, so as to comply with the designer&#8217;s directions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery
