Das Lemurenhaus Painting

Day and Night at the Zoological Gardens On another occasion the Kranzedan visited a zoological gardens. The whole day long he strolled idly about the grounds, visiting the various menageries and admiring the exotic plants in the well-kept gardens. He rested by the shores of an artfully constructed lake, brimming with multi-coloured water-fowl. Towards evening, as the gardens were about to close, he came upon a building identified by a signpost as »The Lemur House«.
