Ottomar Anschütz, Group of Cheetahs (1888)

Abstract

This 1888 snapshot of two cheetahs was taken by photographer Ottomar Anschütz (1846-1907) in the Breslau (Wrocław) Zoo. Anschütz photographed the cheetahs in a special enclosure with a steppe-like ground. The background featured a painted landscape, which is barely perceptible in this photograph.
