VOLUME XXXV.-No. 8. NEW YORK, AUGrUST, 1876. NEW SERIES—No. 855. 
Engraved for the American Agriculturist. 
According to our custom of occasionally giving 
engravings merely as pictures, we this month pre¬ 
sent the above. When we first came across this 
picture in the British Workman, it struck us as not 
only the best representation of a tiger we had seen, 
but one of the best animal portraits we had ever 
met with. The drawing, by an artist named Brit¬ 
tain, is masterly, as representing the savage dignity 
of the beast, and conveying the idea of concealed 
power and ferocity. Though not so large as the 
lion, the tiger is a more beautiful as well as a more 
po werful animal; its ground color is orange-yellow, 
except the white on its face, throat, and under parts, 
marked with elegant black bands. Its strength 
is enormous, a man being as nothing in its grasp.
