1828 Admiring Feed Regents Selling Zoos

EDITORS COMMENTS
Admiring the Den of Bears: A Historical Moment in Regents Park, 1828 This image, titled "Admiring the Den of Bears," transports us back in time to Regents Park in 1828. The photograph, available through Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a group of onlookers gathered around the Regents Park Zoo's bear enclosure, admiring the majestic creatures in their natural habitat. The scene is set against the backdrop of a quaint door, adorned with intricate carvings and a peeling coat of paint, suggesting the passage of time. Next to the door, a lady sells fruit from a woven basket. Her bright red shawl and the vibrant colors of her wares add a splash of liveliness to the otherwise muted tones of the photograph. The bears, with their shaggy coats and curious expressions, seem to be as intrigued by the visitors as the visitors are by them. The sense of connection between man and beast is palpable, as the onlookers reach out to offer the bears a treat, likely purchased from the lady selling fruit. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of zoos and the role they played in the past. Regents Park Zoo, established in 1828, was one of the earliest menageries in Europe and attracted visitors from all walks of life. The opportunity to observe exotic animals up close was a novelty, and the experience of feeding them was an unforgettable memory for many. As we admire this historical moment, we are reminded of the enduring fascination with wildlife and the role zoos play in preserving and showcasing the natural world. The image invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the rich history of our connection to animals.
