EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sally, the Chimpanzee at the Zoological Gardens" takes us back to a bygone era when Londoners flocked to their beloved zoo for a glimpse of exotic creatures. Created by Alexander Francis Lydon in 1891, this print offers a window into the fascinating world of Sally, an enchanting chimpanzee who captured the hearts of many. As we peer into this historic image, we are transported to the bustling atmosphere of the zoological gardens. Sally stands proudly in her enclosure, her expressive eyes gazing curiously at onlookers. Her human-like features and playful demeanor remind us of our shared ancestry with these intelligent primates. Lydon's meticulous attention to detail brings every aspect of Sally's habitat to life. The lush foliage surrounding her adds depth and realism to the scene while also emphasizing her natural habitat within an urban setting. This juxtaposition serves as a reminder that even amidst concrete jungles, nature can thrive. The significance of this engraving extends beyond its artistic merit; it is also a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with wildlife and our desire to understand our place in the animal kingdom. Through this timeless piece, we are reminded not only of Sally's individuality but also our responsibility towards preserving and protecting all species that call Earth home. In acquiring this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, one gains not just a beautiful work of art but also an opportunity for reflection on our relationship with animals and nature
