EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Animals at the Zoological Societys Gardens" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of London Zoo. The print showcases a variety of creatures that once resided in this renowned zoological garden. Intriguingly, our attention is immediately drawn to two bearded saki monkeys perched on a branch. Their expressive eyes seem to convey both curiosity and wisdom. Nearby, we spot hairy prehensile-tailed porcupines with their quills raised as if ready for defense or perhaps just showing off their unique features. The composition transports us to an era when visiting the zoo was an extraordinary experience, allowing people to marvel at exotic animals from distant lands. This engraving originally appeared in The Illustrated London News in August 1878, providing readers with a visual feast of these remarkable creatures. As we observe this historical artwork captured by an anonymous English School artist, it serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with nature and its diverse inhabitants. It evokes feelings of wonderment and appreciation for the efforts made by institutions like the Zoological Society's Gardens in preserving wildlife for future generations. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece beautifully, enabling us to relish in its intricate details and transport ourselves back to a time when exploring such wonders required only turning the pages of an illustrated newspaper.
