Apocalyptic scenes with a lion, a rider and a mob, hand-coloured lithograph

A hand-coloured lithograph crowded with vignettes: a rider in armour on a rearing horse, a large lion attacking a figure, a bearded man with a staff, and a robed figure at the base. A stone tablet bears a biblical inscription beneath a winged angel, with crowds and a river scene at the edges.
