Mr. Wallace, composer of the new opera of "Maritana", 1845. Creator: Unknown

Mr. Wallace, composer of the new opera of " Maritana", 1845. Portrait of Irish musician and composer William Vincent Wallace who travelled the world and had many adventures. While in the East Indies, ...he had a most miraculous escape in a tiger-hunt, when an enormous tiger sprang upon his horse, and he was thrown senseless to the ground. Recovering his consciousness and presence of mind, he drew a pistol from his belt, and, observing the tiger, who had been carried by his bound some yards beyond him, he took a deliberate aim; the ball entered the head of the animal, who fell dead, nearly crushing his vanquisher. From " Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII
