EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Residents of London Zoo" offers a fascinating glimpse into the zoological wonders that once resided within its walls. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a diverse array of wildlife from around the world. Intriguingly, the illustration was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on September 23rd, 1882. It provides us with a snapshot of London Zoo during that era and serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with exotic creatures. Amongst the depicted animals are notable species such as the Heloderma horridum, commonly known as a poisonous lizard native to Mexico. Its vibrant colors and unique features make it stand out amidst its fellow residents. Equally captivating is the presence of a young African elephant, symbolizing both majesty and innocence. The image transports us back in time to an era when zoological gardens were not only places for entertainment but also centers for scientific study and conservation efforts. It reminds us of our responsibility to protect these magnificent creatures and their habitats. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this historical artwork which captures both the beauty and diversity found within London Zoo over a century ago.
