Samson and the lion. Stereoscopic print of statue. 1875.
Image description: stereoscopic print (two photographs taken slightly offset, such that you could look at them through a special viewer and get a 3d effect, like an old-timey Viewmaster). Orange border around the image. The black and sepia print shows a statue of a bare-chested man in a robe, standing astride a recumbent lion. The man holds open the lion's mouth. The statue is on a lawn, with trees and a pathway in the distance.
