EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled 'Brown Bears at the Zoological Society's Gardens (London Zoo), April 1873,' offers a fascinating glimpse into the past of one of the world's oldest scientific zoos. The image captures the moment the brown bears, native to Europe and Asia, climb a stake in their pen to receive their food on a stick from their keepers. The scene is depicted with intricate detail, from the bears' shaggy coats and expressive faces to the ornate design of the pen and the keepers' traditional attire. The engraving, created in 1873 by an unknown artist, is part of the extensive historical archive of the Zoological Society of London (ZSL). The ZSL was founded in 1826, and London Zoo, its flagship site, opened in 1828. The society's mission was, and still is, to advance scientific knowledge through the study of animals and their environments. The bears in the engraving are shown in their natural habitat, albeit in captivity, and their interaction with their keepers reflects the early days of zookeeping. The bears' climbing behavior is a testament to their agility and strength, as well as their intelligence and curiosity. This image provides a unique window into the past, offering insights into the relationship between humans and animals during a time when zoos were primarily focused on scientific research and education. The engraving is a valuable historical document, showcasing the importance of the ZSL in the study and conservation of animals. It also highlights the evolution of zoos from institutions focused on displaying exotic animals to centers for scientific research, education, and conservation. The image is a reminder of the rich history of London Zoo and the Zoological Society of London, which continues to inspire and educate visitors from around the world.
