'The Lion Slayer': this refers to Jules Gérard (1817-1864) Lieutenant of the 3rd Regiment of Spahis, also called the 'Lion Hunter'. In Germany in the second half of the last century, his name appeared again and again in entertaining family magazines and travelogues in connection with spectacular lion hunting experiences; Reputable scientific papers reported on his expeditions, "Meyer's new conversation lexicon" (1868) occasionally mentions the "famous Jules Gérard" in the description of the felis leo, the lion, its distribution and way of life; The work "La Chasse au Lion" written by Gérard (it was, as already mentioned, provided with gripping illustrations by the famous French illustrator Gustave Doré) was published in translation twice in Germany, and the boys' magazine "Der Gute Kamerad" published in 1896 11th year, in which Karl May also received his.
Paul Gustave Louis Christophe Doré (6 January 1832 – 23 January 1883) was a French artist, as a printmaker, illustrator, painter, comics artist, caricaturist, and sculptor. He is best known for his prolific output of wood-engravings, especially those illustrating classic books, including 241 illustrating the Bible. These achieved great international success, and he is the best-known artist in this printmaking technique, although his role was normally as the designer only; at the height of his career some 40 block-cutters were employed to cut his drawings onto the wooden printing blocks, usually also signing the image.

PASSION FLOWER AND INSECTS A leaf filled with life, a small cosmos, a square without a blank space, once again the dominance of the plant, Passiflora laurifolia, i.e. bay leaf passionflower, from the Passifloraceae family, beautiful the open flower that shines into the sun. As the English names Yellow Granadine and Jamaica Honeysuckle suggest, the juice of the fruit is made into drinks; the taste is so pleasant that the plant, which comes from America, has spread throughout the tropics. The author praises the pleasant, widely noticeable scent. On the stem at the bottom right and in the middle on the left are two colorful bugs, just like these rhynchotes, which we despise, make magnificent creatures in the tropics. The butterfly on the right is no more definable than all the caterpillars and pupae shown here. Two caterpillar sacks, houses of sack carriers, are shown. The caterpillars build this shell out of webs, stones, pieces of leaves and stems and carry it around with them like a hermit crab does its snail shell. When they want to move or eat, they leave it with only their front part and pull By closing the opening, they retreat inside in case of danger.
