EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and feast your eyes on the wonders of our Victorian menagerie! This enchanting photograph, hailing from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an era of magic and marvel. The scene unfolds before us as a joyous crowd gathers around the edge of a bustling funfair or circus grounds, their eyes fixed on the exotic and wild creatures that await just beyond the wooden barriers. The air is filled with the sweet scent of popcorn and cotton candy, mingling with the faint yet distinct aroma of animal enclosures. Among the throng of spectators, children's faces are painted with wonder and excitement as they cling to their parents' hands, gazing at the magnificent beasts that have traveled from far-off lands. Elephants, zebras, and tigers stand proudly in their enclosures, their eyes meeting those of the onlookers with a curious and knowing glance. The Victorian menagerie was a testament to the human fascination with the natural world, a time when the exotic and unknown were celebrated and cherished. This photograph captures the essence of that bygone era, inviting us to marvel at the beauty and majesty of the natural world, as well as the simple joys of a day at the fair. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the power of photography to transport us to another time and place, to evoke emotions and memories that transcend the boundaries of the present moment. So take a moment to lose yourself in the magic of this Victorian menagerie, and let the wonders of the past enchant and inspire you.
