The Tiger and the Tub
GB 2014 WS-04-LAN-03-04 · File · 1884-1894
Part of Westminster School's Archive and Collections

An adaptation of the 1841 comic poem by Francis W.N. Bayley entitled 'The New Tale of a Tub'. The narrative follows two colonial hunters as they are attacked by a tiger, but eventually manage to trap it in a large wooden barrel. The tiger's tale comes through a hole in the tub, and the hunters tie a knot in it to prevent the tiger being able to escape. Many of the slides have damage to the black tape binding.
