Natural History Chromolithograph of a Lion

Description

Late 19th century English natural history chromolithograph depicting a lion in warm, richly detailed color. Newly framed beneath glass with a handsome wood frame and linen-style matting, the piece captures the charm of Victorian zoological illustration, when even scientific studies arrived with a touch of theater and excellent posture. A wonderful accent for a study, library, or gallery wall layered with collected curiosities.
