Yes, apt-cache show aview:
Description: A high quality ASCII art image viewer and video player
aview is a high quality ASCII art image viewer and video player. It is
especially useful with a text-based browser such as lynx, links or w3m.
.
It supports the pnm, pgm, pbm and ppm image formats, as well as
the FLI and FLC video formats. It also supports output via stdio,
(n)curses and slang and even has support for gpm.
.
Features
* High quality ASCII art rendering
* Portable
* Save into many formats (HTML, text, ANSI, more/less etc...)
* Contrast, Bright, Gamma control
* Image zooming/unzooming
* Three dithering modes
* Hidden "bonus" features :)
* Inversion
* Support for bright, dim, inverse attributes/extended character set
aview itself can only show pnm pictures, but asciiview (which comes with it)
will convert the pictures with netpbm or imagemagick and then display it.
