EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Noah's Ark at Covent Garden" takes us back to the enchanting streets of London in 1893. Created by Alfred Chantrey Corbould, this intricate illustration was originally featured in The Graphic magazine, capturing the essence of Christmas entertainments during that era. The scene unfolds with a bustling crowd gathered around Covent Garden, eagerly awaiting the grand spectacle about to unfold. A magnificent Noah's Ark stands prominently as the centerpiece, teeming with an array of animals from all corners of the world. Elephants gracefully parade alongside performing dogs and pigeons take flight above their heads. Horses trot elegantly while fowls strut proudly amidst lions and baboons. Intriguingly, even domesticated creatures like cats are seen curiously observing this extraordinary gathering. The orchestra plays harmoniously in one corner while bulls and boas coexist peacefully nearby. Corbould's attention to detail is remarkable; every animal is meticulously rendered with lifelike precision, showcasing his artistic prowess. This print not only captures a momentary glimpse into Victorian-era entertainment but also serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with nature's diverse creations. As we gaze upon this historic artwork today, it transports us back in time - reminding us of the wonderment that can be found within our own city streets when imagination intertwines with reality.
