Victorian Noahs Ark (UEB contracted)
by RnibThis is a picture of a toy Noah's Ark with toy animals. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The Ark is on the centre left of the page. It is a kind of boat and looks like a house standing on a wooden hull. The house bit has a yellow roof and three windows that are pointed at the top. The Ark is facing to the left. It is made of brown wooden planks. To the right of the Ark are three toy animals seen from the side and facing to the left. Just to the right of the Ark is a camel with two humps, right from this is an elephant and a duck on the far right. The animals seem as if they are queuing to get onto the boat.
