EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Oswaldo Tofani takes us back to the enchanting world of the Jardin des Plantes in Paris during the late 19th century. The image captures a momentous occasion when visitors eagerly queued up to catch a glimpse of captive tigers housed in the newly constructed wildcat house. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this historical scene to life, transporting us to an era where zoological gardens held immense popularity as places of both education and entertainment. People from all walks of life flocked to witness these majestic creatures up close, their curiosity piqued by the allure of exotic wildlife. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but reflect on society's evolving relationship with animals and our understanding of their natural habitats. The concept of captivity is brought into focus, raising questions about ethical considerations surrounding animal welfare that continue to resonate today.
