A piece of paper is attatched, which says: "INTO THE JAWS OF DEATH... One of the Most Remakable Animal Photos Ever Made-- that famous big game hunter, H. A. Snow of California, snapped in the very act of pumping some death dealing lead into a ferocious African male lion he surprised breakfasting on the carcass of a zebra. Snow had trailed the king of beasts for three days and three nights after it had killed Harry Klopper (not pictured), an assistant hunter. The huge animal measured 12 feet from tip tp tip. Its skin is now being prepared for exhibition."
