EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a lively scene from London Zoo in September 1871, showcasing the popular attraction of elephant rides for visitors. The Zoological Society's Gardens, now known as London Zoo, had been open for less than a decade at the time, and the novelty of seeing exotic animals up close had not yet worn off. In the image, crowds of people, dressed in their finest Victorian attire, gather around the elephants, eagerly awaiting their turn to climb aboard. The elephants, adorned with colorful decorations, seem to be enjoying the attention, their large ears flapping gently in the breeze. The scene is bustling with activity, with children playing nearby and vendors selling souvenirs. This historical image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the excitement and wonder that the first zoo in London brought to its visitors over a century ago."
