This is a black and white illustration depicting a dramatic scene. A man in a light-colored suit is swinging a stick, seemingly attempting to strike a large tiger that is tumbling over a 'pogah' – a type of woven mat or barrier. The tiger is mid-roll, its body contorted in the air. In the background, there are several palm trees and other vegetation, suggesting a tropical or jungle setting. Other figures are visible in the distance, possibly observers or participants in the event. The ground is covered in tall grass, adding to the wild and untamed atmosphere. The illustration is labeled 'Tiger Tumbling Over the Pogah' and 'Plate XII'.
