 * Reason:This was previously nominated in May 2010 and failed with fairly mixed discussion. Looking at the full size image, it's absolutely stunning. Although it is not a historically accurate representation of the profession, it shows how such individuals are perceived by society. The highest resolution TIFF file cannot be uploaded due to its size.
 * Articles in which this image appears:Lion taming, Lion, Circus
 * FP category for this image:Featured pictures/Culture, entertainment, and lifestyle/Entertainment
 * Creator:Gibson & Co., 1873. uploaded and retouched by Trialsanderrors

 * Per criterion 5, I do not see what this currently adds to the article. You're right to say if it illustrated a discussion about the popular culture basis for lion taming then it might have an educational value, but it's not employed in that role, it's not captioned or explained. Accordingly I must oppose it on that ground: as the top of the FPC puts it "Featured pictures are images that add significantly to articles", and I just don't see it at the moment. Has potential in the future, though. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 19:42, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Grandiose! Support. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 14:12, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose Per Grandiose. I also don't see where this contributes much EV to the linked articles Dusty 777 17:07, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
