EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white wood engraving, created by Gustave Dore in 1872, transports us back to the bustling Zoological Gardens in London. The Parrot Walk is depicted as a vibrant scene filled with people from all walks of life. In this late Victorian era, we see men and women dressed in fashionable attire, showcasing the latest trends of the time. The image captures a moment of leisure for the upper class spectators who have come to admire these colorful parrots perched on their branches. Amongst them stands a young girl, her eyes wide with wonder as she gazes at the magnificent birds before her. Her hat adds an extra touch of elegance to her ensemble. Dore's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving tool; he masterfully brings out each feather on the parrots' wings and captures the expressions on people's faces as they marvel at these exotic creatures. London: A Pilgrimage was a series that aimed to document various aspects of life in Victorian London. This particular print showcases not only the beauty of nature within an urban setting but also highlights how zoological gardens provided entertainment and education for both adults and children alike. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of how art has always had the power to transport us through time and space, allowing us glimpses into different eras and cultures.
