EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The Gorilla at the Zoological Society's Gardens" takes us back to a bygone era when wildlife captivated the hearts of people. Taken from an engraving featured in the Illustrated London News on November 12th, 1887, this image transports us to a time when photography was still in its infancy. In this remarkable piece by Charles Whymper, we are introduced to a majestic gorilla residing within the confines of captivity. The young ape is depicted with astonishing detail and emotion, showcasing its strength and vulnerability simultaneously. Its piercing gaze seems to penetrate our souls as we witness nature's power up close. As we observe this scene frozen in time, it prompts reflection on humanity's relationship with animals and their place within society. This photograph serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards these magnificent creatures who share our planet. Displayed against a backdrop reminiscent of Victorian times, this artwork evokes nostalgia for an era where exploration and scientific discovery were highly regarded. It invites us to appreciate both the beauty and complexity found within the animal kingdom while acknowledging that such encounters come with great responsibility. "The Gorilla at the Zoological Society's Gardens" captures not only an extraordinary moment but also encapsulates our ongoing fascination with wildlife throughout history.
