The museum of natural curiosities [graphic]
Rare Books
Print depicts a horse-drawn closed wooden menagerie wagon from the back. The wagon is lettered with "The museum of natural curiosities". A young man is standing on tip toes, clutching the closed ramp, straining to peer in. The ramp is a flap which can be pulled (or opened) to reveal the scene inside: a lion, a tiger and another large cat ready to pounce on the young man, who is depicted at the end of the opened ramp with his arms outreached and his mouth open in surprise and horror.
