EDITORS COMMENTS
The New Garden of Acclimatisation at Paris: A Haven for Exotic Species and Natural Wonders This image, drawn by M. Felix Thorigny in 1860, showcases the newly completed Garden of Acclimatisation in Paris. The large stables and stallhouses, visible in the foreground, are viewed from the small rivulet that will serve as the reception area for new aquatic species. The Garden, a project of the Zoological Society of Paris, aims to introduce, acclimatise, and domesticate useful or agreeable varieties of animals and plants in France. The Garden, located in the heart of the Bois de Boulogne, is designed to accommodate a diverse range of exotic acquisitions, both animal and vegetable. It promises to be an intriguing attraction for those seeking both instruction and recreation. Visitors will be able to observe and learn about the natural world, gaining insights into the laws, conditions, and secrets of animal and vegetable life. The Garden's profits are expected to stem from the entrance fee paid by visitors and the sale of animals, eggs, plants, and seeds produced on the premises. This establishment serves as a living testament to the wonders of nature, inviting us to contemplate the mysteries of creation and elevate our minds through the study of the natural world.
