A Roullet and Decamps leaping Lion. Paris C.1900. Nowhere near as scary as the Tiger (see other videos) but much better hair style.

  • Thanks for posting all these cool videos. All these automatons are amazing! This truly is a lost art. People in the modern are too wimpy and lazy to even conceive of anything like this. Computer animation and video games have taken the ingenuity right out of the human spirit......

  • lol;p

  • I have this lion!! Although mine dates probably slightly later with celluloid face though exact same movement Any idea on value anyone, I would love to have an idea!! So glad he has famous relatives I showed him this vid and he purred x

  • Its a shame they don't make toys like these nowadays. I'd probably have a small collection if I could afford them.
