EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the year 1887, where a peculiar figure named Krao, known as "The Missing Link" was exhibited at the prestigious Aquarium in Westminster, London. The English School of the 19th century skillfully captured this momentous event that left spectators in awe and wonder. Krao's presence at the exhibition stirred up immense curiosity among visitors who flocked to witness this enigmatic being. With an air of mystery surrounding her, Krao became a symbol of fascination and intrigue during an era when scientific discoveries were rapidly unfolding. As we gaze upon this print from a private collection, we are transported into an atmosphere filled with excitement and anticipation. The image showcases Krao's unique features, which undoubtedly contributed to her title as "the missing link". Her appearance challenged conventional notions of human evolution and sparked debates about our species' origins. Intriguingly, this engraving not only captures a historical spectacle but also sheds light on society's fascination with entertainment during that time. It serves as a reminder of how people sought amusement through extraordinary exhibitions like these. Through Fine Art Finder's collaboration with Bridgeman Images, we can now relish in the visual storytelling preserved within this remarkable piece. Let it transport you back to Victorian London and immerse yourself in the allure of Krao – "The Missing Link" – forever etched in history.
