EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1900, showcases a collection of intriguing animals at a French zoo. Among them, an animal with distinctive slender back-curving horns has drawn the attention of many viewers. The spelling of the animal's name, however, remains a mystery as the term "heucorya" in the caption proves to be elusive. Despite extensive research, the identity of this animal has yet to be confirmed. The Old and New French Zoo, as depicted in this image, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing a variety of exotic creatures from around the world. The animals are housed in enclosures that reflect the time period, with some exhibiting cages made of iron bars, while others appear to be more naturalistic. The photograph, part of the Box 259 Boswell collection, is a fascinating reminder of the curiosity and wonder that drew people to visit zoos over a century ago. The lantern slide, with its rich detail and sharp focus, invites us to explore the natural world and learn about the many wonders it holds. Though the identity of the animal with the slender back-curving horns remains a mystery, the photograph itself is a testament to the enduring allure of the animal kingdom and the importance of preserving and studying the natural world.
