EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Bostocks Jungle, a renowned travelling menagerie that provided both entertainment and education to the public in early 20th century London. The image showcases the Coronation Exhibition held at White City in west London in 1911, commemorating the ascension of King George V and Mary of Teck to the throne. Frank Bostock, the mastermind behind this fascinating collection of animals, exhibitions, and circus acts, aimed not only to entertain but also enlighten people about the wonders of the natural world. This postcard from Valentine & Sons Ltd beautifully depicts an exterior view of one of Bostocks' impressive buildings within White City. The hand-colored print adds vibrancy to this historic scene as visitors explore amidst a landscape filled with awe-inspiring creatures. From lions and tigers to elephants and zebras, Bostocks Jungle offered a unique opportunity for city dwellers to witness these exotic animals up close. As spectators marveled at these magnificent beasts against such architectural grandeur, they were transported into a realm where nature's beauty merged seamlessly with human ingenuity. This photograph serves as a testament to an era when curiosity was sparked by live encounters rather than digital screens. Preserved through time by The Print Collector and now made available by Heritage Images, this image allows us to glimpse into an enchanting chapter in British history - one that celebrated both regal splendor and our enduring fascination with wildlife.
