EDITORS COMMENTS
This nineteenth-century engraving by Gustave Doré transports us to the Jardin Zoologique, a haven for both humans and animals alike. The print depicts an enchanting scene at London Zoo, where visitors are captivated by the playful antics of several monkeys swinging from tree branches and wire barriers. The late Victorian era comes alive as families gather to witness these fascinating creatures in their natural habitat. Doré's intricate detailing brings each monkey to life, showcasing their mischievous expressions and agile movements. The artist skillfully captures the essence of these primates, emphasizing their long tails and expressive faces. As spectators observe with awe, one can almost hear the laughter and gasps of amazement that must have filled the air during this moment frozen in time. The composition is further enhanced by the inclusion of netting surrounding the enclosure, reminding viewers of our shared connection with these incredible creatures while also highlighting our role as protectors. This image serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with wildlife throughout history and our ongoing efforts to preserve it. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this historical masterpiece, allowing us to appreciate Doré's talent for capturing both human curiosity and animal majesty. It serves as a testament to his contribution not only to art but also to our understanding and appreciation of nature's wonders.
