EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and experience the thrill of a Llama Ride at the world-renowned London Zoo in Regent's Park! This early 20th century photograph captures the excitement and wonder of a day at the zoo as children eagerly climb aboard a llama-drawn cart. Accompanied by their knowledgeable keeper, dressed in uniform, they set off on a unique and unforgettable journey through the zoo's grounds. The Llama Ride was just one of many attractions that drew visitors from near and far to London Zoo, which opened in 1828 and was the first scientific zoo in the world. The zoo's mission was to promote scientific research and education, and the Llama Ride no doubt provided both entertainment and an opportunity to learn about these fascinating animals up close. Llamas, which originate from South America, were popular animals in Europe during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They were often used for transportation and were even kept as pets by the wealthy. In this photograph, the llamas appear calm and gentle as they carry their passengers, their long ears twitching slightly as they take in their surroundings. The girls and boys in the photograph, dressed in their Sunday best, are clearly delighted by the experience, their faces filled with joy and curiosity. The keeper, with a warm smile and steady hand, ensures their safety and adds to the sense of adventure. This image offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when a day at the zoo was a cherished family outing and the wonders of the natural world were just a cart ride away.
