EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1900, showcases a majestic Ibex (Capra ibex) confined within the bars of its cage at a French zoo. The Ibex, an ancient species of wild goat, is widely recognized in the archaeological record, particularly in the Near East and Mediterranean regions. Evidence of the Ibex can be found in abundance, with motifs of this magnificent animal appearing on various artifacts such as cylinder seals and pottery, both painted and embossed. The Ibex, with its distinctive curved horns and agile body, was once a common sight in the wild, roaming the rugged terrain of the mountains. However, this image serves as a poignant reminder of the reality of the animal's existence in the late 19th century, where they were kept captive for public display. The French zoo, a blend of the old and the new, is depicted in this photograph, with the Ibex being one of its many inhabitants. The juxtaposition of the natural beauty of the animal and the man-made bars of its cage highlights the contrast between the wild and the captive world. This photograph, part of the Box 259 Boswell collection, is a testament to the rich history of animal preservation and the evolution of zoos over time. It provides a glimpse into the past, allowing us to reflect on the importance of conservation efforts and the ethical considerations surrounding the keeping of wild animals in captivity.
