Queen Alexandra with tiger cub at the London Hippodrome

Queen Alexandra, during a visit to the London Hippodrome on 22 November 1905 with her brother, King George I of Greece, and Prince and Princess Nicholas of Greece, pictured petting a tiger cub born in captivity to one of the animals in Richard Sawades menagerie. The cub, called Babs became rather unruly and entangled his claws in the lace of the Queens dress. Despite this behaviour, when news that the Queen had shown special favour towards Babs, Sawade was inundated with offers from ladies asking to buy him. The Illustrated London News remarks, presumably without irony, that on the same day, the Prince of Wales (later George V) shot his first tiger in India. Date: 1905
