EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, created by the talented artist George Scharf in 1835, offers a glimpse into the enchanting world of Zoological Gardens in Regents Park, London. The scene depicts a bustling day at the park, with figures of all ages eagerly observing a man feeding an elephant and a rhinoceros. In the background, enclosed within railings, graceful deer roam freely. The image transports us back to the 19th century, when this magnificent city sanctuary was established as one of England's most beloved attractions. Families gather together to marvel at these exotic creatures from distant lands that have found their home amidst Marylebone's urban landscape. Scharf's attention to detail is evident as he captures not only the majesty of these animals but also the excitement on spectators' faces. The monochrome palette adds depth and timelessness to this snapshot from history. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this print serves as a valuable record of London Zoo's early years. It allows us to appreciate how our understanding and appreciation for wildlife has evolved over time while reminding us of our enduring fascination with nature. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, it serves as both an educational tool and a testament to human curiosity about the animal kingdom. Let it transport you back in time and inspire your own sense of wonderment towards our planet's diverse inhabitants
