Leeuw in een dierentuin in Londen c. 1879

"Leeuw in een dierentuin in Londen," c. 1879, is a photograph by Thomas James Dixon, showcasing a majestic lion resting in its enclosure at the London Zoo. The image captures the lion's powerful physique and regal gaze, while the bars of its cage subtly highlight the animal's confinement. Dixon's photo, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the Victorian era's fascination with exotic wildlife.
