EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a piece of history in the form of a letter addressed to Lord Rothschild, written on Paula the Famous Reptile Conqueror letter writing paper. The document is a testament to the sensational attraction that was once housed at the Royal Aquarium in London - the only act of its kind in the world during the 19th century.
The illustration featured on this original document, now held at the Natural History Museum, showcases a crocodile - one of many exotic animals that were part of this unique exhibition. The archive provides a glimpse into a bygone era when such attractions drew crowds from all over Europe to marvel at these fascinating creatures.
Lord Lionel Walter Rothschild, known for his passion for zoology and natural history, was likely intrigued by this particular correspondence regarding reptiles. His involvement adds an extra layer of significance to this historical artifact.
As we admire this print today, we are reminded of the rich tapestry of animal life that has fascinated humans for centuries. It serves as a reminder of our enduring curiosity about the natural world and our ongoing efforts to understand and protect it.
