EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and witness the captivating mystery of the Thylacine, or Tasmanian Tiger, as it was admired by Victorian audiences at the London Zoo. This rare photograph, taken during the late 19th or early 20th century, captures the elusive creature in its enclosure, showcasing its distinctive stripes and powerful build. The Thylacine, a marsupial native to Australia and Tasmania, was hunted to extinction in the wild in the early 20th century. Its extinction was a great loss for the natural world, as it was the last surviving marsupial carnivore. This vintage lantern slide, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past when the Thylacine was still alive and on display in zoos around the world. The image is a testament to the fascination and wonder that these animals held for people during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The London Zoo, established in 1828, was a popular destination for Victorians seeking entertainment and education. The zoo's collection of exotic animals from around the world, including the Thylacine, fueled the public's curiosity and imagination. This photograph is a valuable historical record of a creature that has long since disappeared from the wild. It serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts and the need to protect endangered species before they vanish forever.
