EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Choiropotamus and Leucoryx, in the Zoological Societys Gardens, Regents Park" takes us back to the 19th century when wildlife encounters were a rare treat. The image showcases two fascinating creatures that have captured the attention of visitors at London's famous zoo. In the foreground stands a majestic Leucoryx, its elegant horns reaching towards the sky. This graceful antelope from North Africa exudes an air of tranquility as it gazes into the distance. Its sandy-colored coat blends seamlessly with its surroundings, evoking a sense of harmony with nature. Beside this magnificent creature is an unexpected sight - a red hog known as Choiropotamus. With its stout body and bristly fur, this wild boar-like animal adds an element of surprise to the scene. Its playful demeanor suggests youthfulness and curiosity as it explores its enclosure. The backdrop reveals glimpses of lush greenery and hints at other enclosures within Regents Park's Zoological Society Gardens. It serves as a reminder that these animals are part of a larger collection curated for educational purposes and conservation efforts. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on October 9th, 1852. Today, it continues to captivate viewers with its depiction of these unique creatures from distant lands. As we admire this print from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the wonder and diversity found within
