EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases "Les hippopotames du jardin zoologique de Londres" (The Hippopotamuses of the London Zoological Garden). The detailed print, part of a private collection, was created by an anonymous French School artist and was featured in the publication La Chasse Illustree in 1871-72. The artwork transports us to the lush green pastures of the English countryside, where these magnificent creatures roam freely. The rural landscape provides a picturesque backdrop for this snapshot of rural life in late 19th-century England. Intriguingly, this engraving also hints at the connection between hunting and water. The presence of mineral waters symbolizes one of the four elements - water - which is essential for both wildlife animals like hippos and humans alike. London's rich history is also evident in this image. From its iconic landmarks such as Westminster Abbey to its bustling streets filled with Londoners going about their daily lives, it is clear that this city has always been a hub of activity and culture. As we admire this piece, we are reminded not only of France's influence on European art but also how nature transcends borders. This enchanting engraving serves as a testament to our fascination with wildlife and our desire to capture moments that connect us to different times and places.
