This chromolitho print titled "Androcles and the Lion" takes us back to ancient Rome, where a legendary tale of gratitude and kindness unfolds. The image depicts Androcles, a slave who had escaped his cruel master, encountering a ferocious lion in the arena. The vibrant colors of this 19th-century educational card bring life to this fable that has been passed down through generations.
