Description:
4" x 5" Negative. Two lionesses in the grass. One lays down while the other one stands above it. Hoefler's original description: "These two females were discovered stalking a herd of zebra, and our presence upset the whole program so that the zebra herd got away without losing any of its members. To make up for this loss to the hard working lionesses, we shot them a wild hog, for having just bent a front axle by hitting a pig hole, we felt revengeful against the homely wart hog.
