Created by the talented Gustave Doré, this image captures the essence of London Zoo in the late 19th century. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a crowded enclosure completed in 1864 where visitors gather to observe the playful antics of monkeys. The intricate engraving beautifully showcases every detail, from the expressive faces of both humans and primates to the ornate cage that houses these curious creatures. The scene is filled with a sense of discovery and interaction as people young and old engage with these fascinating animals. Children are particularly captivated by their primate counterparts, their wide-eyed wonder reflecting an innocence untouched by time. As we delve into this historic moment through Doré's lens, we can almost hear the chatter and laughter echoing throughout Regents Park. This image not only serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with zoos but also provides insight into Victorian society's interest in nature and its desire for exploration.
