EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from the 19th century showcases the arrival of a new hippopotamus at Central Park Zoo in New York City. The image transports us back to a time when zoology and biology were still emerging fields, and people flocked to witness exotic animals up close. The central focus of the print is undoubtedly the magnificent hippo, gracefully submerged in water within its cage. Its massive size and powerful presence are awe-inspiring, drawing spectators from all walks of life. Men gather around, observing with curiosity as they witness this rare creature from North Africa. The scene takes place against the backdrop of Central Park, adding an element of tranquility amidst the bustling cityscape. The lush greenery surrounding the zoo provides a natural sanctuary for both visitors and animals alike. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but imagine what it must have been like to be present during that era - witnessing firsthand one of nature's most fascinating creatures. This wood engraving serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with wildlife and our desire to connect with nature even within urban environments. Granger Art on Demand has beautifully preserved this piece from their collection, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance.
