EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Youthful Pongo, at the Royal Aquarium" takes us back to 19th century London, where a remarkable scene unfolds. The image showcases an English School's artistic rendition of a young gorilla named Pongo, who became a beloved attraction at the Royal Aquarium. Pongo's youthful energy is palpable as he playfully interacts with his audience. His powerful yet gentle presence captivates both children and adults alike. This enchanting artwork was originally created as an illustration for "The Pictorial Museum of Sport and Adventure" published by Frederick Warne around 1880. Stepping into the historical context, we can imagine the excitement that filled the air in Victorian-era London when visitors flocked to witness this extraordinary creature firsthand. The Royal Aquarium served as a hub for entertainment and education, offering glimpses into exotic worlds through its diverse exhibits. "The Youthful Pongo" not only captures the essence of this unique animal but also serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with nature and our desire to understand creatures different from ourselves. It reminds us of our innate curiosity about the world around us and how art has always played a crucial role in preserving these moments throughout history. As we gaze upon this print today, it transports us back in time while reminding us of our shared connection with all living beings on this planet – past, present, and future.
