Verreaux designed and constructed the orientalist taxidermy diorama "Lion Attacking a Dromedary" for the Paris Exposition of 1867, where it won a gold medal. After the exposition, it was sold to the American Museum of Natural History, who exhibited it at the 1876 Centennial Exposition. The diorama was sold to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in 1898, where it was displayed until its removal in 2020. The museum cited the work's lack of cultural accuracy and concerns raised by the Black Lives Matter movement as the reasons for the removal.
