EDITORS COMMENTS
Zebras at London Zoo by Charles Howard This stunning watercolour painting, titled "Zebras at London Zoo," captures the grace and beauty of a group of zebras as they graze peacefully in their enclosure at the iconic London Zoo. Painted by renowned British artist Charles Howard in the late 19th century, this work of art offers a glimpse into the past when London Zoo was a popular attraction for visitors from all walks of life. The vibrant colours and intricate details in the painting bring the zebras to life, showcasing their distinctive black and white stripes that serve as a natural camouflage in their native African habitats. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth and texture to the scene, making it seem as if the viewer is standing right there, observing the animals in their natural environment. London Zoo, which opened in 1828, was one of the first modern zoos in the world. It was founded by Sir Stamford Raffles and Decimus Burton with the aim of promoting scientific research and conservation. The zoo's collection of exotic animals from around the world drew large crowds, and the painting of zebras at the zoo is a testament to the fascination that these animals held for the public during that era. Charles Howard was a prolific painter and illustrator, known for his detailed and realistic works. He was a regular visitor to London Zoo and often painted the animals there, capturing their essence and personality in his art. This painting of zebras at London Zoo is a beautiful example of his talent and the enduring appeal of these magnificent creatures.
