EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and prepare to be astonished by the wonders of nature as presented in Wombwell's Royal National Menagerie! This magnificent poster, dated around 1800, invites the viewer to experience a dazzling array of creatures from the animal kingdom and beyond. At the heart of this spectacle is a regal procession of animals, from majestic elephants and graceful zebras to exotic birds and playful monkeys. But look closer, for this menagerie is not only home to vertebrates, but also to the fascinating realm of the invertebrates. In the bottom left corner, a common burrower mayfly (Ephemera danica) proudly displays its hexapod form, showcasing the intricacies of the arthropod world. This ephemeral insect, a member of the Ephemeroptera order, is depicted in its adult form, its delicate wings spread wide. The poster's vibrant colors and intricate details transport us back in time, evoking the sense of wonder and excitement that must have greeted visitors to Wombwell's Menagerie over two centuries ago. This ephemera, a testament to the enduring allure of the natural world, is a must-have for any collection of historical prints or natural history enthusiasts. Join us in marveling at the rich tapestry of life that Wombwell's Royal National Menagerie presents, and let your imagination run wild as you explore the hidden worlds of the insect and invertebrate kingdoms.
