Abstract
THE illustration which we give on next page, from La Nature, is after a photograph of one of the lions in the Zoological Gardens, London. This photograph may be regarded as one of the numerous triumphs of instantaneous photography, valuable both to art and science. The original was rephotographed in Paris directly on wood, by means of a special collodion, at present much used. This has assured a perfectly faithful reproduction of the original, exhibiting all the characteristic details of the lion at rest. The illustration tells its own story.
