Woodblock multicolour print: a European man holding a lance and confronting a spotted leopard in a mountainous landscape. Lengthy text, stating that exotic animals nowadays are being offered by foreigners as a result of the dynasty's virtue; and that this "tiger" was imported by a Dutch trader in 1860 (brought to Yokohama); it further records the propensities of the animal, which was caught "in the mountains of Persiana". Signed Ichiryûsai Yoshitoyo. Yokohama print.
