EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this line engraving from 1891, we are transported back in time to witness the enchantment and curiosity of youthful visitors exploring the zoological gardens in London's Regents Park. The print, skillfully crafted after George Du Maurier's original work, captures a poignant moment as children gather around a tiger cage. With wide-eyed wonder and animated gestures, these Victorian-era youngsters engage in lively conversation about the magnificent creatures before them. Their innocent remarks reflect both their awe and concern for these captive animals. As they peer through the bars of the ornate cage, it is evident that they are captivated by nature's beauty while grappling with questions about freedom and confinement. This evocative image serves as a reminder of our timeless fascination with wildlife and our responsibility towards its preservation. It transports us to an era when zoology was still emerging as a scientific discipline, offering glimpses into early attempts to understand animal behavior within carefully constructed enclosures. The delicate engravings highlight not only the artistic talent behind this piece but also its historical significance.
