EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, captures a novelty attraction from early 18th century England. The image features a Bactrian camel and her young one, displayed between the Queens Head and Crooked Billet pubs near Fleet Bridge. Contrary to the billing on the flyer, this camel is not a dromedary, as evidenced by its two humps. Bactrian camels were a rarity in Europe during this period, making them an exciting spectacle for the public. The exact date of this photograph is not known, but it is believed to be around 1714, based on the era's fashion and the style of the pub signs. The young camel, with its curious expression and small size, stands next to its mother, who gazes intently at the viewer. The bridge in the background adds to the sense of history and the passing of time. The display of camels as a novelty attraction was a common practice during this era, with the first recorded instance being in 1662. These animals were often brought to Europe from the Middle East as gifts or for trade. The camels would be paraded through the streets, and sometimes even ridden by the wealthy and noble. This photograph print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when such sights were a novelty and a source of wonder. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural exchange that has shaped our world.
