Légende

The International Exhibition: "Una and the Lion", in metal, modelled by the late John Thomas, 1862. 'We here engrave one of the best works by the prolific, versatile, and much-lamented sculptor, the late John Thomas...In this group...which has since been executed in bronze for the International Exhibition, Una is naturally and appropriately posed..."The kingly boast upon her gazing stood," and thenceforward becomes her guardian and servant, whether she was waking or sleeping, till his noble breast was pierced by that fierce paynim, Sansloy. The "milk-white lamb" which accompanied the Royal virgin is well introduced: the "lowly ass, more white than snow," on which she rode was of course not necessary to point this situation, and has been judiciously excluded'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
