  Fancy having a lion, tiger, horse, goat, and monkeys living next door? Poor Mr Jarvis did. Read about 'Queensland's worst neighbour' at our John Oxley Library Blog: blogs.slq.qld.gov.au/jol/2010/02/05/queenslands-worst-nei...

  That article is priceless!

• Liz Clark said:

  I can confirm there are two lions in that photo. The lions were obtained from Melbourne zoo and integrated into the act. It was first performed in Brisbane in May 1903 Ref: THE "INNER LIFE" OF A MODERN CIRCUS. (1903, May 23). The Queenslander (Brisbane, Qld. : 1866 - 1939), p. 22 Supplement: Unknown. Retrieved March 16, 2015, from nla.gov.au/nla.news-article21645453

  Liz Clark Thank you for confirming where the lions came from. Great to read the article from the Queenslander about Wirth's Circus. We will add this detail to the image record. Thank you

  John Lockwood Kipling, clay bas-relief illustrating a scene from "Mowgli's Brothers". To prevent Shere Khan the tiger from persuading the wolf-pack to depose their leader Akela, Mowgli steals a fire-pot from a human village and uses it to scare off the tiger and his allies.
