A record of what is presumably a school outing, in which assorted children sit or stand in neat rows, pads in hand, to sketch various zoo animals, who obligingly adopt various poses. Intercut with these are images of the actual sketches, of bears, lions and tigers.

He is also renowned for the famous lion statues in Trafalgar Square. Michael Brooke
