EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts a scene from Central Park Zoo in New York City, captured between 1900 and 1905. The image, which measures 8 x 10 inches, showcases a group of camels gracefully posing for the camera amidst lush greenery and ornate iron fencing. The serene atmosphere is further accentuated by the peaceful expression of the camels and the absence of any visible crowds. Central Park Zoo, established in 1860, was one of the earliest menageries in the United States. It was home to a diverse range of animals, including camels, which were a popular attraction for city dwellers and tourists alike. This photograph, taken during the early 1900s, offers a rare glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique blend of urban and exotic elements that defined the zoo during this era. The photograph is believed to have been taken using a dry plate negative process, a popular photographic technique during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The image bears the signature of both Edwin H. Husher and William A. Livingstone, suggesting that it may have been produced by a professional photography studio. The photograph is now part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance. This photograph is an intriguing reminder of a bygone era, when Central Park Zoo was a beloved destination for New Yorkers and visitors from around the world. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when camels roamed the streets of Manhattan and the wonders of the natural world were just a short carriage ride away.
