This famous group, by Kiss, of Berlin, is reduced in size from the original in the Crystal Palace. An Amazon, on horseback, attacked by a Tiger, who has already fastened his fangs and claws deep in the neck of the struggling horse, while the rider, throwing herself back out of her ordinary seat, poises her spear to transfix the monster with a single and decisive blow. [P. 18; engraving on p. 18 is signed "M. Orr, Sc." and depicts a female figure seated on a rearing horse, about to plunge a spear into a tiger that has seized the struggling horse with his fangs and claws.]
