Jug
Pardoe, Thomas
Shaw, George 'General Zoology'
This jug was an impressive way to serve beer two centuries ago. Thomas Pardoe was a skilful, versatile artist but, looking at this, you wouldn't think tigers were his strong point. In fact, this is an accurate copy of a scientific print, although he made up the scenery himself.
