A panther blocks Dante's way in Inferno Canto 1 as illustrated by Gustave Doré for the elephant folio edition in early 1861. The caption reads

                  Scarce the ascent
Began, when, lo! a panther, nimble, light,
And cover'd with a speckled skin, appear'd,
Nor, when it saw me, vanish'd,
                           Canto I, lines 29-32.
