EDITORS COMMENTS
"This poignant image captures the moment at London Zoo in Regent's Park, where the beloved elephant Jack, a resident for sixteen years, lies deceased in 1847. Jack, who was the pride of the Zoological Society's Gardens, may have been as old as forty when he passed away. His death was a significant loss for the zoo community and the many visitors who had come to see him over the years. The elephant, who was imported from India in 1831, had been a beloved figure at the zoo since his arrival. His passing marked the end of an era for the zoo, and his memory lived on as a reminder of the connection between Londoners and the natural world. This historic photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, provides a glimpse into the past and serves as a poignant reminder of the transience of life, even for the most majestic of creatures."
