EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a moment in time at the historic London Zoo in 1882, showcasing the young African elephant named Jingo and his devoted keeper. The image, titled "Showing Jingo, the young African Elephant, at the Zoological Society's Gardens (London Zoo), with his Keeper," offers a glimpse into the past when exotic animals were first being introduced to European audiences. Jingo, a young and inquisitive elephant, is seen here interacting with his keeper, who appears to be guiding and caring for the large animal. The keeper's attire, consisting of a long coat and hat, is reminiscent of the Victorian era, adding to the historical context of the photograph. The London Zoo, established in 1828, was one of the first modern zoos in the world. It was founded by Sir Stamford Raffles and Decimus Burton, with the aim of promoting scientific research and conservation. The acquisition of Jingo, along with other exotic animals, was a significant achievement for the zoo during this period. The engraving, produced by ILN (Illustrated London News), is a testament to the importance of documenting and preserving the history of these early zoos and the animals they housed. The image also highlights the fascination and curiosity that surrounded the discovery and exploration of the natural world during the late 19th century. This print, with its intricate details and stunning composition, invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the rich history of animal conservation and scientific discovery. The image of Jingo and his keeper serves as a reminder of the important role zoos play in educating and inspiring generations to come.
