EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful 19th-century cartoon print, we are transported to the enchanting world of Regents Park Zoological Society's Gardens. The illustration by George du Maurier captures a moment in time as a wealthy woman takes a leisurely stroll through the lush gardens. As she passes by, an enormous hippopotamus catches her attention. The woman exudes elegance and sophistication, dressed in fashionable attire that reflects her status. With an air of curiosity and wonderment, she gazes at the magnificent creature before her. The juxtaposition between human wealth and animal majesty creates a captivating scene. Du Maurier's artistic talent shines through his intricate detailing and skillful use of lines to bring life to both the woman and the hippopotamus. His Franco-British background adds a unique perspective to this whimsical portrayal. This print not only showcases the beauty of nature but also highlights society's fascination with exotic animals during that era. It serves as a reminder of how zoos were once seen as places for leisurely walks and entertainment rather than conservation efforts. As we admire this historical artwork, let us appreciate its ability to transport us back in time while reminding us of our ever-evolving relationship with nature and wildlife.
