EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print showcases the vibrant and exotic world of Wombwells Royal Menageries at their appearance in the Bartholomew Fair. Founded by George Wombwell in 1810, this traveling menagerie boasted a remarkable collection of animals that included three majestic elephants, fierce tigers and lions, graceful leopards, striking zebras, a magnificent polar bear, and several impressive boas. Wombwell's reputation as an esteemed exhibitor earned him the privilege of being invited to showcase his animals at the royal court on five separate occasions. This distinction led him to add the prestigious moniker "royal" to his name. The Bartholomew Fair was a renowned Charter fair held annually in London since its inception in 1133 until its suppression by city authorities in 1855 due to concerns over debauchery and public disorder. It served as an ideal platform for Wombwells Royal Menageries to captivate audiences with their awe-inspiring attractions. This vintage poster serves as both an advertisement and promotion for this extraordinary spectacle. Its Victorian charm transports us back to a time when such displays were considered grand entertainment. The image evokes a sense of wonderment and curiosity about these exotic creatures from distant lands. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we are reminded of the enduring fascination humans have had with wildlife throughout history. It is a testament to our innate desire for adventure, discovery, and connection with nature's most extraordinary creations.
