The print is part of the renowned "Alphabet du Jardin des Plantes" a delightful alphabet primer created by Mrs. Louise Leneveux and illustrated with exquisite lithographs drawn by Lassalle. In this particular artwork, Lassalle skillfully captures the essence of a zebra, showcasing its distinctive stripes and graceful form.
