EDITORS COMMENTS
This whimsical chromolitho print captures a delightful scene from the 19th century, where a polar bear is being fed an ice cream sundae by a group of children. The image, created by Richard Andre, showcases the playful interaction between humans and animals in a zoo setting. The children are depicted with joyous expressions as they take on the role of caretakers for this majestic creature. With parasols to shield themselves from the hot weather, they engage in this amusing act of feeding the polar bear its icy treat. The juxtaposition of their innocence and the wildness of nature creates a charming atmosphere. Surrounded by lush botanical gardens and towering trees, this illustration transports us back to an era when zoological gardens were places for both entertainment and scientific study. It offers a glimpse into how society viewed wildlife during that time period. Through satire and humor, Andre's artwork invites us to reflect on our relationship with animals and our responsibility towards them. This print not only highlights human fascination with exotic creatures but also serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts today. Displayed within private collections worldwide, this piece from Bridgeman Images continues to captivate viewers with its blend of artistry, amusement, and historical significance.
