The ox-elephant, a new and very promising breed...

Honoré Daumier

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of people looking at an exhibit. The exhibit features a large animal with the body of an ox and the head and long curved tusk of an elephant. The onlookers are standing indoors behind a fence and wearing old-fashioned clothing, including hats and formal dresses. Some onlookers are standing on the right side of the group. The image is labeled at the top with the words "L'Exposition Des Animaux". The image includes a number "5" at the top right corner. The illustration appears to be done in a satirical style with exaggerated facial expressions on the onlookers.
