Nero From the Life
B.E. Duppa Esq.r Del.t R. Roe fec.t [c.1850]
Lithograph, rare, printed area 195 x 180mm (7¾ x 7").
Head of a lion named Nero. This is presumably the same lion which the menagerie owner George Wombwell (1777-1850) attempted to make fight against a pack of dogs in Warwick in 1825. In a notorious event which provoked public outcry, Wombwell sold tickets (prices varied), but Nero took no notice of the dogs and so was replaced by another lion, Wallace. When the dogs were introduced into the cage with Wallace, two at a time, they were immediately destroyed. Lithograph after portrait painter Bryan Edward Duppa (1804-1866).
