EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Zoological Gardens - The Parrot Walk, 1872" takes us back to the enchanting world of Victorian London. Created by the talented Gustave Doré, this piece captures a moment in time at the renowned Zoological Society of London. In this bustling scene, we see men and women strolling through Regents Park on a sunny day. They are dressed in fashionable attire, showcasing their high social class. Among them are children filled with wonder and excitement as they explore the animal kingdom around them. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the parrots perched on branches along the pathway. Their vibrant feathers stand out against the monochrome backdrop, adding a touch of color to this historic snapshot. These beautiful birds symbolize discovery and fascination with nature during an era when exploration was highly valued. Doré's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this engraving. From the intricate patterns on clothing to each individual expression captured on faces, he brings life to his subjects within this outdoor setting. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from 19th-century Britain, we can't help but be transported back in time. It serves as a reminder that even amidst urbanization and industrialization, people found solace in connecting with nature's wonders – just like those who meandered through Zoological Gardens all those years ago.
