EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "New Animals at Zoological Gardens" takes us back to the year 1882 when it was first published in The Graphic. The artist behind this intricate piece is Harry Hamilton Johnston, whose attention to detail brings these exotic creatures to life. The print showcases a diverse array of birds and animals that were recently introduced to the London Zoo. From left to right, we see a majestic Grey Plover spreading its wings, displaying its elegant plumage. Next is the mischievous Pluto Monkey swinging from branch to branch with boundless energy. In the center of the composition stands a vibrant Red Bird of Paradise, its vivid colors contrasting against the monochromatic background. This magnificent creature seems almost otherworldly in its beauty. Further along, we encounter an impressive Juggur Falcon perched on a rock ledge. Its sharp gaze suggests both intelligence and power as it surveys its surroundings with keen eyesight. Lastly, we are introduced to Darwin's Rhea - a large flightless bird native to South America. With long legs and feathers resembling fur-like strands, this unique species adds an element of curiosity and wonderment. Through this engraving, Johnston not only captures the essence of these new additions but also highlights our fascination with discovering unfamiliar creatures from far-flung corners of the world. It serves as a reminder that zoological gardens have always been spaces for education and appreciation of nature's wonders throughout history.
