About this sheet

The 'Löwe vom Senegal' is an original antique print by Karl Joseph Brodtmann, dating back to around 1830. This artwork captures the grandeur of a Senegal lion, rendered in a style typical of the natural history illustrations from that era.

The print emphasizes the lion's regal bearing and detailed features, likely aimed at providing an accurate study for scientific and educational purposes. Brodtmann's work is a reflection of the early 19th-century fascination with wildlife and the natural world, immortalizing the majestic creature in print form.
