EDITORS COMMENTS
"This engraving captures the bustling atmosphere of Whit Monday in 1866 at the Zoological Society's Gardens, now known as London Zoo, located in Regent's Park. The large crowd of visitors is shown in the foreground, their curiosity piqued by the cages of the big carnivores, including lions and tigers, which line the right side of the image. In the background, a couple can be seen in the midst of the excitement, watching as two brown bears climb a wooden pole to be fed. The historical significance of this image lies in its depiction of a popular leisure activity during the Victorian era, where people would flock to the zoo to witness exotic animals up close. The wooden pole for the bears to climb was likely a popular attraction, providing both entertainment and education for the visitors. This engraving, dated 1866, is an important piece of history that transports us back to a time when a day at the zoo was a much-anticipated event."
