EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Frederick William Hulme, titled "View of the tunnel in the Zoological Gardens at Regents Park, London, c1840," offers a glimpse into the past of one of London's most beloved attractions. The image transports us back in time to the 19th century when Regents Park's Zoological Gardens were a popular destination for families and visitors from all walks of life. The scene is set in the heart of the gardens, where a tunnel, adorned with lush greenery and vibrant flowers, leads the way to the various animal enclosures. The tunnel's archway frames a picturesque view of the park's verdant landscape, with trees and bushes in full bloom, providing a striking contrast to the bustling cityscape of Westminster in the background. The image is filled with groups of families and individuals, dressed in the fashion of the time, enjoying the pastime of a day out at the zoo. Children can be seen playing and exploring, while their parents engage in animated conversations or observe the exotic animals on display. The scene is a testament to the importance of nature and family life during this era. Frederick William Hulme, a skilled artist and lithographer, expertly captures the essence of this idyllic setting, creating a timeless piece that continues to captivate and inspire us today. This image, now held in the Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, is a valuable piece of historical documentation, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the enduring appeal of nature and the joy of family outings.
