A Roullet and Decamps Leaping Tiger of about 1890. Made in Paris.
These are the best automata for demonstrating to kids who will grab and touch everything.
I get them to come right up to the tiger and tell them to look carefully into his eyes as he crouches and watch him blink......they get closer and closer then......he leaps! Result: child never touches an automaton ever again.
