EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming chromolitho print titled "Seal Canooing" captures the whimsical world of animals in a 19th-century zoo. Created by Richard Andre, this artwork was originally featured as an illustration for the book "Dream of the Zoo" published by Perry & Co around 1880. In this delightful scene, we see a group of Victorian children role-playing and having fun at the zoo gardens. The highlight of their playful adventure is a seal cruising along in a canoe, skillfully navigating through the water with its flippers. This amusing sight brings smiles to both young and old alike. The artist's satirical approach adds an extra layer of humor to the image. By depicting animals engaging in human activities such as boating, Andre playfully challenges our perception of traditional roles and transportation methods. The inclusion of other creatures like platypus and tugboats further enhances this sense of imaginative absurdity. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this print transports us back to a time when zoological gardens were places not only for education but also for entertainment. It reminds us that even in the strict Victorian era, there was room for laughter and childlike wonderment amidst all seriousness. This artwork from Bridgeman Images invites us to embrace our inner child and appreciate the joyous moments found within unexpected scenarios – where seals become sailors and imagination knows no bounds.
