EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting era of the late 19th century. The image showcases a remarkable sight at Regents Park Zoo in London, where people eagerly mount the majestic African bush elephant known as Jumbo. This iconic creature, whose fame reached far beyond his enclosure, was none other than Jumbo himself – a beloved resident of the zoo from 1865 until his untimely death in 1885. The photograph beautifully captures the bond between man and beast as visitors enjoy an unforgettable ride on this gentle giant's back. With its exquisite detail and timeless quality, it transports us to a bygone age when such encounters were rare and magical. London Stereoscopic Company has masterfully preserved this moment for posterity, allowing us to witness history unfolding before our eyes. The composition perfectly frames both Jumbo and his delighted passengers against the backdrop of England's lush landscape. As we gaze upon this extraordinary scene, we are reminded of how zoos have long served as gateways into nature's wonders – places where humans can connect with animals from distant lands. It is through images like these that we can appreciate not only the beauty of wildlife but also our own fascination with these magnificent creatures. In this evocative print by London Stereoscopic Company, we are transported back to a time when elephants roamed freely within city limits – reminding us that even amidst urban landscapes, nature will always find its place.
