From the Jungle Gazette:
Young Wilbur Lion is home from his triumphal tour with the Mammoth Circus. "Welcome home, Wilbur."
Life Magazine, fall 1925
This beauty measures 16 1/2 x 10 1/2". Drawn almost 100 years ago. Sullivant's quadrupeds are walking on their toes here. By contrast Disney would later put the bodyweight of anthropomorphic animals on the whole length of the foot, like humans (Song of the South, Robin Hood etc.) As so often in his work Sullivant keeps the background to a minimum, so the characters read clearly and beautifully.
