EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Johann Baptist Zwecker showcases the Babirussa, a recent addition to the prestigious Zoological Society's Gardens in Regents Park. The image transports us back to 1860 when this exotic creature made its debut in London. The Babirussa, also known as the Babirusa or "deer-pig" is depicted with remarkable detail and precision. Its unique appearance immediately catches the eye - from its elongated snout adorned with impressive tusks that curve upwards like majestic antlers, to its coarse fur and sturdy physique. Zwecker's skillful hand brings life to this magnificent animal, capturing both its strength and grace. The artist's attention to detail allows us to appreciate every intricate feature of the Babirussa, making it seem as if we could reach out and touch it. As we gaze upon this historic print, we can't help but imagine the excitement that must have filled the air when visitors first laid eyes on this extraordinary creature at London Zoo over a century ago. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with nature's wonders and our constant desire for discovery. This engraving not only preserves an important moment in zoological history but also invites us into a world where imagination meets reality. It reminds us of our connection with animals and how they continue to captivate our hearts and minds throughout time.
