"Civic Playgrounds: A Glimpse into the Past" Step back in time and explore the enchanting world through captivating engravings, photographs, lithographs, and paintings. From historic landmarks to thrilling encounters with wildlife, these glimpses into the past transport us to a bygone era filled with wonder and excitement. Inverary Castle, nestled in the picturesque landscape of Argyll, Scotland in 1880, stands as a testament to architectural grandeur. Its majestic presence evokes a sense of awe and invites visitors to immerse themselves in its rich history. London comes alive in an engraving from 1888 showcasing Euston Road and Marylebone Road. The bustling streets capture the essence of Victorian London's vibrant energy as people traverse from Kings Cross to Paddington amidst horse-drawn carriages and bustling crowds. Burghley House in Lincolnshire, England takes us on a journey through time with its exquisite beauty captured in an engraving from 1880. This stately home is steeped in elegance and offers a glimpse into aristocratic life during that era. Traveling across borders, we find ourselves at The Park at the Spa in Vichy, France around 1900. This serene photograph transports us to a tranquil oasis where nature intertwines harmoniously with human-made structures—a true haven for relaxation. The surprises found within zoos are vividly depicted through color lithographs that recount extraordinary encounters between humans and animals. From being assaulted by bears or attacked by deer near Port-Louis capital of Mauritius—these incidents remind us of both the thrill and danger that can accompany interactions with wildlife. Venturing further eastward brings us face-to-face with an indigenous Indian police officer who boldly penetrates the deer enclosure at Zoological Garden—an act immortalized through another striking color lithograph. Such daring acts highlight humanity's fascination with exploring boundaries even when faced with potential risks.
