EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sunday Afternoon at the Zoological Gardens, Beauty and the Beast" takes us back to a bygone era where people found solace in leisurely strolls through enchanting zoos. Created by Percy Macquoid in 1891, this print showcases the juxtaposition of beauty and beastliness within the confines of a zoo. The scene depicts a serene Sunday afternoon as visitors wander amidst cages housing various exotic creatures. In the foreground, we see an elegant woman engrossed in observing one particular animal - a majestic hippopotamus. The artist skillfully captures her fascination with its sheer size and power while also highlighting her delicate gracefulness. Macquoid's attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched into this engraving brings life to each element present. From meticulously crafted iron bars enclosing these magnificent beasts to lush foliage surrounding them, every aspect adds depth and realism to this snapshot of Victorian-era entertainment. "Sunday Afternoon at the Zoological Gardens" not only offers us a glimpse into historical pastimes but also raises questions about our relationship with nature. It prompts contemplation on how humans have sought both wonderment and control over wild animals throughout history. As we admire this timeless artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, let it serve as a reminder that even within captivity, there exists beauty worth cherishing – just like that which can be found in both man-made structures and untamed wilderness alike.
