Here is a vintage clip art illustration of a beautiful sleeping lioness. Even the most powerful beasts in the jungle need rest.
I scanned the original illustration from the November 1892 issue of St. Nicholas magazine.

This is wonderful. An unusual pose. Thank you!
You’re welcome Peggy. I don’t think we see lions and lioness depicted in a sleeping pose too often. Perhaps a sleeping pose invokes a feeling of weakness or helplessness. However, I think that even though this lioness is fast asleep, she still evokes a sense of power. At any moment, she could be alert and immediately back on the prowl.
Sweet! I think this graphic will
work in one of my greeting cards!
Thanks so much for sharing!
You’re welcome Kay! I’m happy to know this image might work in one of your greeting cards!
