Versailles Leopard

No real higher thought or interesting story today - just a cool illustration that I saw floating around on line, depicting a leopard for the Versailles Menagerie, dated 1739.  By this time the menagerie was under the indifferent rule of Louis XV and was already in decline, but it's cool that we have a few representations of it.  Can't imagine that cat was terribly happy about being disturbed by the dogs.
