EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Cage-Bird Show at the Crystal Palace" takes us back to the 19th century when bird shows were a popular form of entertainment. The image showcases a bustling scene within the grand Crystal Palace in London. The artist, S. T. Dadd, beautifully captures the atmosphere of this spectacle. Rows upon rows of ornate cages line the exhibition hall, each housing a different species of colorful birds. Among them are elegant cornish choughs with their distinctive red beaks and glossy black feathers. In this snapshot of avian life, we witness both love and dignity alongside impudence and ennui. Some birds perch gracefully on their perches while others flutter about playfully or peck at seeds scattered on the floor. The staff members diligently attend to these feathered guests, ensuring their well-being during this public display. The Crystal Palace itself stands as an architectural marvel in the background—a symbol of Victorian innovation and progress. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News in February 1887, capturing a moment frozen in time for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, we are reminded not only of our fascination with nature's beauty but also our responsibility towards its preservation.
