EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 19th century, offering a rare glimpse into the interior of Politos Royal Menagerie at Exeter Change in Westminster, London. The image showcases a bustling scene filled with people from all walks of life, eagerly exploring this unique collection of exotic animals. The grandeur and architectural beauty of Exeter Change are evident as we observe the intricate details of the building's design. Every corner seems to hold a story, whispering tales from a bygone era. The aquatint technique used in this print adds depth and richness to the colors, bringing vibrancy to an otherwise monochromatic world. Within the cages that line the avenue-like lanes inside Exeter Change, we find creatures that have been brought from distant lands for public display. Majestic lions and tigers exude both power and vulnerability as they navigate their confined spaces. A playful monkey swings overhead while an elegant elephant stands tall amidst its captivity. Visitors marvel at these extraordinary beings, their expressions reflecting awe and curiosity. It is through images like this one that we can appreciate how our ancestors sought connection with nature's wonders within city walls. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this photograph offers us not only a visual delight but also serves as a reminder of our complex relationship with wildlife throughout history. Let it transport you back in time to an era when menageries were gateways into uncharted territories - where humans encountered creatures beyond their wildest imaginations.
