EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and marvel at the majestic American Wapiti, or Elk, as it gracefully roams in the lush grounds of the New York Zoological Park, circa 1920. This postcard captures a rare moment of beauty as the elk's velvet antlers, still in their growth phase, gleam in the sunlight. The antlers, which will soon harden and shed the velvet covering, are a testament to the elk's strength and vitality. The New York Zoological Park, located in the Bronx, was a popular destination for city dwellers seeking a respite from the hustle and bustle of urban life. Established in 1895, the park was home to a diverse array of animals from around the world, including the American Elk, which was native to the forests of North America. The elk in this postcard appears to be in its prime, with its powerful build and regal demeanor on full display. The lush greenery and natural surroundings of the park provide the perfect backdrop for this magnificent creature. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, were a time of great cultural and social change in America. The era was marked by prosperity, innovation, and a renewed appreciation for the natural world. The New York Zoological Park was a reflection of this trend, with visitors flocking to see the exotic animals that were brought in from far-flung corners of the globe. This postcard is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into a time when the wonders of nature were just a short trip away for city dwellers. Today, the New York Zoological Park continues to inspire and delight visitors, providing a vital link to the natural world in the heart of the city.
