An old scanned postcard, showing the already extincted caspian tiger in Berlin Zoo
Yes, very, and this is one I haven't seen before, though the cage is obviously the same as in other photos, such as the 'classic' (most often used) b/w photo with the rocky background- that one is evidently cropped/ enlarged as in the full photo there is actually a 2nd tiger sitting on top of the rocks in the background.

Another, probably older one depicts a keeper standing in front of the cage and the two tigers resting on the floor of the cage.
 
There is also a picture of a probable Caspian tiger at the Antwerpen Zoo website, the archive pictures.
 
Thanks a lot!
There are currently a lot of caspian tiger pics around, especially in several discussion boards.
But i've never seen that one. with the pics showing the Hagenbeck-female, this one here gives the best impression of that species, i even think the best impression of why it seems to be that similiar to the Amur tiger.

Beeldbank Zoo van Antwerpen
Take a day and go through the whole catalog. Lots of pictures from old time. MANY unique pictures. All are not that fun to see but they are from another zoo era, the collection era.
 
You may find some of the forum members very interested in the old zoo photos including myself, please do upload them if you get the time, cheers
