EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Hippopotamus, in the Gardens of the Zoological Society, Regent's Park" takes us back to a bygone era when zoological gardens were a source of wonder and fascination. Created by Harrison William Weir in 1850, this print offers a glimpse into London's thriving Victorian society. In this scene, we find ourselves immersed in the lush surroundings of Regent's Park as we witness an extraordinary encounter with one of nature's most formidable creatures – the hippopotamus. The massive mammal stands proudly amidst its carefully curated habitat within the gardens of the Zoological Society. Its powerful presence is beautifully captured through Weir's meticulous engravings. As we observe this magnificent creature from afar, it becomes evident that this artwork was not only intended for aesthetic appreciation but also served as an educational tool during a time when access to exotic animals was limited. Published in The Illustrated London News on June 1st, 1850, Weir's illustration aimed to bring these distant wonders closer to home and ignite curiosity among readers. Today, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. It reminds us of our enduring fascination with wildlife and how art has long been used as a medium for exploration and discovery.
