Moving the lions at the Zoological Society's Gardens, 1876. Creator: Unknown

Moving the lions at the Zoological Society's Gardens, 1876. Lioness in her new home. The lions, tigers, and panthers of the Zoological Society's collection in the Regent's Park Gardens were last week removed from their old lodgings...to the spacious building lately constructed...The animals were enticed into a movable den or cage, placed close to the opened sliding-door of their old permanent dwelling; and, when thus secured, it was easy for the keepers to convey each beast, in its portable cage, to the new house...where it soon entered the chamber designed for its occupation. There was, indeed, some trouble and delay in overcoming the cautious distrust of some of these wild creatures; but the patient gentleness of the keepers, under the superintendence of Mr. Bartlett, succeeded in this delicate task without any mishap'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876
