Accompanied by; Lights and Shades on the Bostock Circus Farm
Not the most promising of titles, or, indeed, a very accurate one: there's certainly plenty of shade, but the only light comes from the flames of the funeral pyre that consume a dead circus elephant shortly after its corpse has been unceremoniously dragged across a field by 50 carthorses. Unmissable or unwatchable, depending on your own particular sensibility.
The Bostock Circus was American, but toured Europe extensively during this period, including visits to Britain.
I have subtitled the German myself (with a bit of help).
