EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of Jardin d'Acclimatation in Paris, France, circa 1850, as depicted in this photograph from Mary Evans Prints Online. This image transports us back in time to an era when the fascination with the natural world was at its peak. The monkey house, a prominent feature of the zoological garden, is surrounded by curious human visitors. The monkeys, with their lively expressions and playful antics, seem to be engaging in a friendly banter with their onlookers. Branches and vines laden with lush foliage frame the monkey house, creating a sense of wildness that contrasts with the ordered gardens of Jardin d'Acclimatation. The Jardin d'Acclimatation, established in 1852, was one of the first zoos in Europe dedicated to the acclimatization and exhibition of exotic animals. It was a place where people could marvel at the wonders of the natural world, learn about different species, and experience the thrill of encountering the unfamiliar. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of zoos and the importance of preserving and showcasing the diversity of the animal kingdom. It invites us to reflect on the role that zoos play in fostering a deeper appreciation for the natural world and the creatures that inhabit it.
