EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating coloured engraving takes us back to the early 19th century, capturing the bustling atmosphere of Politos Royal Menagerie at Exeter Change in Strand, London. Published in 1812, this print offers a delightful glimpse into one of the city's most popular entertainments. The scene is alive with an array of exotic animals that would have enthralled both children and adults alike. Majestic lions command attention while parrots add a splash of color with their vivid plumage. An elephant stands tall, its presence commanding awe and wonder among the crowd. Children can be seen scattered throughout the image, their faces filled with excitement as they witness these incredible creatures up close. This snapshot transports us to a time when such encounters were rare and served as educational experiences for young minds. Politos Royal Menagerie was not just a zoo; it was a place where pleasure met education. It offered an escape from everyday life and provided valuable insights into wildlife from around the world. The engraving captures this unique blend perfectly, showcasing both entertainment and enlightenment within its intricate details. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are reminded of how far our understanding of animal welfare has come since those times. Yet there is still something undeniably magical about witnessing wild creatures through the eyes of a child – their innocence and curiosity reminding us that even today, zoos continue to inspire generations by connecting them with nature's wonders.
