EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Birds recently added to the Royal Zoological Society's Collection in Regents Park" takes us back to 19th century London, where a diverse array of avian wonders were showcased. The image showcases the meticulous artistry of an English School artist, capturing the beauty and intricacy of these newly acquired birds. The scene is set within the lush surroundings of Regents Park, providing a picturesque backdrop for this ornithological spectacle. Amongst the feathered stars are Philippine pigeons, their vibrant plumage catching our eye with its striking colors. Plumed colins also grace this gathering, their elegant appearance adding an air of sophistication to the collection. As we delve into this historical snapshot, it becomes evident that this print was created as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on October 3rd, 1863. It serves as a testament to society's growing fascination with natural history during that era. The Royal Zoological Society played a significant role in advancing our understanding and appreciation for wildlife conservation and research. This engraving not only celebrates their efforts but also immortalizes these unique specimens forever captured within its frame. Today, we can admire this piece as part of a private collection thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in our understanding and admiration for nature's incredible diversity – from Derbyan screamers to plumed colins – all brought together under one roof at London Zoo in Regents Park.
