EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and witness the extraordinary spectacle of Zoo Animals Up To Date on Cycles! In this photograph from 1892, an elephant proudly rides a velocipede, or high wheel bicycle, in the heart of the zoo. The late Victorian era was a time of great innovation and curiosity, and this humorous image showcases the playful blend of wildlife and technology. The elephant, with its massive size and graceful demeanor, appears surprisingly at ease as it balances atop the bicycle, its large ears flapping gently in the breeze. The velocipede, a symbol of modern transportation, adds an unexpected element of fun and whimsy to the zoo experience. The image is a testament to the fascination with bicycles during this period, as they were a popular mode of transportation and a status symbol for many. The photograph, taken in 1892, captures the spirit of the 1890s, a time of rapid change and progress. The combination of wild animals and bicycles may seem strange to us today, but it speaks to the sense of adventure and wonder that characterized the late Victorian era. This charming photograph is a reminder of a time when the impossible seemed possible, and the ordinary became extraordinary. The Mary Evans Picture Library, a leading provider of historical images, offers this photograph and many others that transport us back in time, allowing us to explore the past through the lens of history and humor.
