EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1840, offering a glimpse into the early days of London's famous Zoological Gardens. Established in 1828 by Sir Stamford Raffles and Sir Humphrey Davy, this renowned zoo quickly became a beloved attraction for both locals and visitors alike. In this image, we see a group of people standing at the entrance of the gardens, their arms linked in excitement and anticipation. Among them are children, couples, and individuals from all walks of life. The architectural beauty of the building behind them adds an air of grandeur to the scene. The arrival of a giraffe in 1836 marked an important milestone for London Zoo as it showcased exotic animals that were rarely seen before. This sparked curiosity among people who flocked to witness these magnificent creatures up close. Through this photograph captured by an unknown creator, we are transported back in time to experience the charm and wonderment that surrounded one's visit to London Zoo during its early years. It serves as a reminder not only of our fascination with nature but also our enduring desire for discovery and connection with wildlife. As we gaze upon this historic image today, let us appreciate how far zoos have come since then while acknowledging their role in conservation efforts worldwide.
