EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "At Jamrachs, London, 1887" takes us back to the bustling streets of East London in the 19th century. The image showcases Charles Jamrach's premises on The Highway, where he was renowned as a dealer in wild animals. In this snapshot of history captured by an unknown creator and preserved by The Illustrated London News, we witness a scene filled with both curiosity and concern. A young boy stands alongside men who are engrossed in conversation about the exotic creatures held captive within cages. Their faces reveal a mix of awe and perhaps even sympathy for these magnificent beings. The monochrome engraving highlights the stark contrast between freedom and captivity, emphasizing the controversial concept of animal trade during that era. Amongst the various species depicted is a majestic owl perched solemnly on its perch while nearby rests a kangaroo from distant lands. Located in Tower Hamlets' vibrant neighborhood, Jamrach's shop attracted people from all walks of life who were eager to catch glimpses of these extraordinary creatures brought from far-flung corners of the world. As we gaze upon this historical print curated by The Print Collector, it serves as a reminder not only of Charles Jamrach's legacy but also prompts us to reflect upon our relationship with wildlife throughout time.
