EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and feast your eyes on the majestic Sultan, the Barbary Lion, residing at the New York Zoological Park in the Bronx during the Roaring Twenties. Circa 1920, this postcard captures the grandeur and awe-inspiring presence of this magnificent creature. Sultan, an Atlas or Nubian male, is shown in his enclosure, his mane lying flat against his broad chest as he takes a leisurely rest. The elderly man in the background, dressed in a suit and hat, adds a sense of scale and human connection to the scene. The Barbary Lion, native to North Africa, was once considered extinct in the wild but has since made a comeback due to conservation efforts. This image offers a glimpse into a bygone era, when a visit to the zoo was an exciting adventure and the wonders of the natural world could be discovered right in the heart of the city. The New York Zoological Park, now known as the Bronx Zoo, continues to inspire wonder and education, showcasing a diverse array of animals from around the world.
