EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Grisly Bears, in the Gardens of the Zoological Society, Regents Park" takes us back to a bygone era when London's zoological gardens were a place of wonder and discovery. Created by Harrison William Weir in 1850, this print offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of wildlife that once inhabited these historic grounds. In this scene, two imposing Grisly Bears command our attention as they roam freely within the lush surroundings of Regents Park. The artist skillfully captures their immense size and power through intricate details etched onto paper. Their shaggy fur seems to come alive with every stroke, while their piercing eyes hint at an untamed spirit that cannot be contained. The setting itself is equally enchanting; we can almost hear the rustling leaves and distant sounds of visitors strolling along gravel paths. It is here that nature meets civilization—a harmonious blend where humans can observe these majestic creatures up close while respecting their wild nature. Weir's work was originally published in The Illustrated London News, allowing readers to experience vicariously what it would be like to encounter such awe-inspiring animals firsthand. Today, this exquisite engraving serves as a testament to both artistic talent and historical significance—an enduring reminder of London Zoo's rich heritage and its role in educating generations about the wonders of the animal kingdom. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back to a time when bears roamed freely
