EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Mitchell Park Zoo in Durban, South Africa, circa 1915. Originally an ostrich farm established in 1910, this remarkable zoo has evolved into a sanctuary for a diverse collection of animals. The image showcases the beautiful exterior of the zoo's buildings against the backdrop of Africa's vibrant colors and natural beauty. The photograph, tinted with delicate hues, transports us back to a bygone era when visitors would flock to this popular tourist attraction. The well-maintained cages can be seen dotting the landscape as they house various species from around the world. Located in Kwazulu Natal province, Mitchell Park Zoo offers a glimpse into early 20th-century zoological gardens. It stands as a testament to South Africa's commitment to preserving its rich biodiversity and providing educational experiences for both locals and tourists alike. As we admire this postcard-worthy scene captured by The Valentine & Sons Publishing Co. , Ltd. , it is impossible not to feel drawn into the allure of Mitchell Park Zoo. This print serves as a reminder that even over a century ago, humans recognized the importance of protecting and appreciating our animal companions while creating spaces where people could connect with nature on their doorstep.
