EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "New Occupants of the Zoo" takes us back to 1896, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of London's renowned zoo. The engraving, created by Cecil Charles Windsor Aldin, showcases an array of wildlife species that have recently found their home in this iconic institution. As we delve into the image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the majestic and vociferous sea eagle perched on a branch. Its commanding presence sets the tone for this diverse collection of creatures. Surrounding it are lemurs playfully leaping from tree to tree, adding an element of mischief and curiosity to the scene. Further along, we spot jackals roaming freely with their alert gazes scanning their surroundings. A serval gracefully prowls through its enclosure while a genette peeks out from behind foliage with its enigmatic gaze. The artist skillfully captures not only the physical attributes but also the unique personalities and behaviors of each animal depicted. Through his intricate detailing and masterful use of light and shadow, Aldin brings these creatures to life within this snapshot frozen in time. This enchanting engraving serves as a testament to both Aldin's artistic prowess and London Zoo's dedication towards housing a diverse range of captivating wildlife species for public enjoyment. It reminds us that even over a century ago, zoos played an essential role in educating society about nature's wonders while fostering conservation efforts for future generations to appreciate.
