About this work

The image presents a photograph of a lion statue, positioned in front of a building. The lion is depicted in profile, facing left, with its head turned slightly towards the viewer. Its mane is visible, and it appears to be gazing at the building behind it. The building in the background features a dome, which is partially obscured by the lion's head. The overall atmosphere of the image is somber, with muted tones that evoke a sense of solemnity. This photograph, titled "The British Lion," was taken by Alvin Langdon Coburn in 1909. It is currently held at the Victoria and Albert Museum. If you're interested in learning more about Coburn's work, you might want to explore the artist: Coburn, Alvin Langdon.
