Original – A 19th century lithograph of a Lion tamer in cage with two lions, a lioness, and two tigers
Reason
This was previously nominated in May 2010 and failed with fairly mixed discussion. Looking at the full size image, it's absolutely stunning. Although it is not a historically accurate representation of the profession, it shows how such individuals are perceived by society. The highest resolution TIFF file cannot be uploaded due to its size.
