EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of Victorian-era aquariums as depicted in this photograph, Plate 116 from Mary Evans Prints Online. This image, estimated to date from the 1880s, showcases an exquisite collection of aquaria, each adorned with intricately designed shades and stands. The shades, with their elegant domes, protect the delicate underwater ecosystems from harsh sunlight while allowing ample natural light to filter through. The aquaria themselves are a sight to behold, with their ornate designs and ornamental details. Goldfish, the popular aquatic pets of the time, swim gracefully among the lush ferns and vibrant plants, adding a touch of color and life to the glass bowls. The use of tiles, reminiscent of Wedgwood's iconic blue and white designs, adds an element of sophistication and style to these aquatic displays. This photograph also highlights the popularity of window conservatories during the Victorian era. The aquaria were often placed in these glass-enclosed spaces, allowing the natural light to filter through and creating a serene and beautiful environment for both the plants and the fish. The 1880s was a time when the fascination with the natural world was at an all-time high, and the creation of these intricate aquaria was a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the era. This photograph, with its rich history and stunning visual appeal, transports us back to a time when the beauty of nature was celebrated in the most extraordinary ways.
