EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a charming scene at the zoo in the 19th century. Titled "An Amateur Photographer at the Zoo" it showcases an English photographer immersed in his passion for capturing wildlife on film. The image, part of a private collection, was originally published as an illustration for The Graphic on September 5,1885. In this delightful snapshot, we see a young lion cub playfully tugging at the tail of its parent while other animals roam freely in the background. A mischievous monkey perches on a branch above, seemingly observing the amateur photographer's every move with curiosity. Nearby stands a pig, adding to the eclectic mix of creatures present. The setting is reminiscent of Upper Nubia gardens, providing a lush backdrop for this moment. As our gaze wanders through the frame, we spot additional monkeys and macaques scattered throughout their natural habitat. This photograph not only highlights various animal species but also celebrates photography itself as an art form. It serves as a testament to how humans have long been fascinated by wildlife and sought to capture their beauty through lenses. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem from Fine Art Finder's collection—an enchanting glimpse into both nature's wonders and early photographic endeavors.
