IX/4 This was the only stone lithograph in the original book where each animal was realised through a different process, the lion being drawn and scratched on stubborn stone. Two kinds of lion appear. At the top is the heraldic English lion (since this beast is sometimes referred to in heraldry as the Leopard of England it also serves to make the transition between this group of sins and the last) taken from an early version of the arms of England; at the bottom taken from an illustration in a wildlife magazine is an unequivocally confronting lion seen as if approaching yet seemingly imprisoned in the inflexibility of pride. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
