Polito's menagerie came in two sizes, achieved by putting the standard backplate onto varying base forms and modifying the cast of characters standing on the base
The smallest at 8 1/2 in. high, rarest, and probably earliest earthenware form
Wombwell's large menagerie. An adaptation of the Polito's menagerie, with a change in titling.
The menagerie you describe as Wombwells large (middle picture) is a modern reproduction from the far east.
