EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and witness the extraordinary spectacle of Zoo Animals Up To Date on Cycles! In this photograph from 1892, a hippopotamus dons an unusual outfit as it takes a ride on a Penny Farthing bicycle. Dressed in humanized clothing, complete with a ruff collar and a top hat, this anthropomorphic hippo brings a touch of humor and surprise to the late Victorian era. The hippo's expression of excitement and determination is evident in its wide-open mouth and bared teeth, as it prepares to pedal its way through the zoo grounds. The broken Penny Farthing, a popular transport method during this time, adds to the comic element of the scene, as the large animal attempts to balance and ride the bicycle. This photograph, titled "Zoo Animals Up To Date on Cycles - Hippo on a Penny Farthing (1892)" is a testament to the playful and imaginative spirit of the 1890s. The use of anthropomorphism and the integration of animals into human activities was a common theme during this period, reflecting the fascination with the natural world and the desire to see animals in new and unexpected ways. Mary Evans Picture Library proudly presents this rare and delightful image from their extensive collection, inviting you to take a step back in time and marvel at the whimsical world of Zoo Animals Up To Date on Cycles.
