You see a dramatic scene of horses and men chasing tigers in this lithograph. The horses are rearing up and the men are leaning forward, which shows the energy of the hunt. This scene is interesting because it tells us about the kinds of stories people wanted to see in art back then. To learn more about this kind of printmaking, look into the technique: lithography.
