Lion Attacking a Dromedary (2024)
Copper plate etching on a museum sign podium

The museum sign, produced and etched in copper, is a recreation of a sign once displayed alongside Lion Attacking a Dromedary, a 19th-century taxidermy diorama by Édouard Verreaux. The diorama, formerly at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, depicted a fictional attack by a Barbary lion on a North African man, drawing on Orientalist tropes. The museum added signage acknowledging its unethical origins before permanently closing the display in 2023.
