The Price of the Crown

Serengeti, Tanzania

The story

The same lion, the same second as The Golden Look of the King. Take the colour away and you see something else.

What reads as warmth and gold in colour becomes a face full of history in black and white. The scars across his muzzle and around his eyes, the patches where the fur never fully grew back, the crooked line of his nose. A male lion that reaches this age has paid for it, and here you can read the bill.

That is why both are in the catalogue. The colour version shows you what he is. This one shows you what it cost him.
