EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Knocking down a Wild Beast Show, the Sale of the Royal Windsor Castle Menagerie" takes us back to 19th century England, where a fascinating spectacle unfolds. In this splendid print, we witness a scene filled with awe-inspiring wild animals and curious onlookers. At the center of attention stands an elegant lady, her eyes fixed upon a majestic lion as if in mutual admiration. Surrounding them are various creatures from around the world – a Russian bear, a wild cat, and even a devilish-looking baby hyena. The atmosphere is electric as gentlemen eagerly bid for these extraordinary beasts. This sale at the Royal Windsor Castle Menagerie offers an opportunity for those seeking unique pets or entertainment for their establishments. With pounds being exchanged and items changing hands, it becomes clear that owning such exotic animals was not limited to zoos alone. Amongst this miscellaneous group of buyers stands George Wombwell - renowned for his menageries - accompanied by his faithful companion Jerry Wallace. They observe intently while contemplating which wildlife treasures they will add to their collection next. As we delve into this image captured by an anonymous English School artist in 1884, we are transported to another era where fascination with wild life thrived. It serves as both a reminder of our historical connection with these magnificent creatures and an insight into how society once viewed them – not just as curiosities but also as companions worth acquiring.
