Lion and Cub
$85.00 – $450.00
“Lion and Cub” was shot in the Fall of 1977 while I was a senior at Penn State. I was walking on campus and saw a gentleman with a baby lion on a leash. I approached him and asked if he would go to the Nittany Lion Statue with me for just a few minutes. I promised him photos that he would never forget. Once at the lion, he sat the cub on the head of the Nittany Lion Statue. The cub looked at me and I shot this one frame. It must have heard the shutter of my camera as it wanted nothing to do with being calm after that. He ran all over the statue and I got a few other shots, but none quite like this one.
Established in 1887, the Nittany Lions have achieved numerous on-field successes, including two consensus national championships in 1982 and 1986, four Big Ten Conference Championships in 1994, 2005, 2008, and 2016, 13 undefeated seasons in 1887, 1894, 1909, 1911, 1912, 1920, 1921, 1947, 1968, 1969, 1973, 1986 and 1994, and 53 appearances in college bowl games, with an all-time post-season bowl record of 31–20–2.

About Beaver Stadium:
The original Beaver Field was located on the west side of campus and seated 30,000 fans. Named for James Beaver, President of the Board of Trustees, the Nittany Lions played at the original Beaver Field from 1909 until 1959. In 1960, the original Beaver Field was moved to its current location and renamed Beaver Stadium.
Out of all of the State College fall activities, Penn State Football weekends are the quintessential experience. Rather than being surrounded by parking decks and high-rise buildings, Beaver Stadium, where the Penn State Nittany Lions play, is surrounded by fields. On Penn State Football weekends, those fields turn into some of the largest tailgating fields in the country. Fans pack up grills, coolers and yard games and travel to State College from all over in RVs, vans, SUVs, trucks and cars.
Before every home game is one big Penn State picnic — there’s a reason it made the list of America’s Top 10 College Tailgate Cities. When the football game begins, approximately 107,000 fans can be found dressed in blue and white and cheering on their Nittany Lions. It’s an experience you don’t want to miss — don’t forget to buy tickets and a parking pass in advance.
Another moment in Penn State football history, the October 22, 2016 match-up with Ohio State. Previously unbeaten, Ohio State sustained their first loss of the season when the Nittany Lions blocked a field goal attempt, recovered and scored. PSU beat the Buckeyes 24-21 in Beaver Stadium during the forever famous “WhiteOut” of 2016.
All unframed photographs are matted and shrink wrapped ready to give to any PSU fan. Framed pieces are mounted, double matted, glassed and framed in your choice of Black, Cherry, Walnut or Mahogany wood finishes.
If this is a gift, we will gladly gift wrap it for you…no charge…no kidding.
