EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Hippopotamus in his New Bath in the Zoological Society's Gardens, Regents Park" takes us back to 19th-century London and offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of the city's renowned zoo. The image showcases an English School masterpiece that was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on June 14,1851. In this scene, we find ourselves immersed in the tranquil atmosphere of Regents Park as we witness a momentous event - the introduction of a hippopotamus to its new bath. The artist skillfully captures both the grandeur of this magnificent creature and its sheer delight at exploring its watery domain. The attention to detail is exquisite; every ripple on the water's surface seems alive, reflecting sunlight that filters through lush foliage surrounding the enclosure. This print transports us to a time when exotic animals were still rare sights for many Londoners and highlights society's growing fascination with zoology. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring curiosity about nature. It allows us to appreciate how far our understanding has come since those early days at London Zoo while also inspiring awe and wonder at these majestic creatures who share our planet.
