EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Zoological Society, London" takes us back to the 19th century when the wonders of nature were brought to life within the walls of London Zoo. The image showcases a momentous occasion as Her Majesty herself is presented with an extraordinary gift from the Zoological Society. In this snapshot of history, we see a group of distinguished individuals gathered in the lush gardens of London Zoo. They are surrounded by an array of exotic birds and fascinating creatures that have captured their attention. Among them stands Queen Victoria, her regal presence adding grandeur to this remarkable event. The focus of everyone's gaze seems to be on a pair of majestic Great Bustards being presented before Her Majesty. These magnificent birds symbolize both power and grace, their large wings spread wide as if ready for flight. It is evident that these rare creatures have captivated not only the queen but also all those present. "The Zoological Society, London" engraving offers us a glimpse into a time when zoos were not just places for amusement but also centers for scientific discovery and conservation efforts. This print reminds us how our fascination with wildlife has transcended time and continues to inspire awe even today.
