EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the Victorian era and witness the captivating mystery of the Tasmanian Tiger, also known as the Thylacine, at the London Zoo. This rare and enigmatic creature, believed to be extinct today, once roamed the wilds of Australia and Tasmania. In this vintage photograph from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, we see the Thylacine in its enclosure at London Zoo, surrounded by intrigued onlookers. The Edwardian-era lantern slide, with its warm, golden tones, transports us back to a time when the Thylacine was still a living enigma. The Tasmanian Tiger, a marsupial carnivore, was the largest known marsupial predator, with distinctive stripes adorning its powerful and muscular body. Its extinction remains a subject of debate, with some believing it was hunted to extinction, while others suggest disease or competition with introduced species played a role. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, a time when the Thylacine was still a captivating presence in the zoological world. The onlookers, dressed in their Victorian finery, seem to be in awe of the creature, their expressions a mix of fascination and trepidation. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the Tasmanian Tiger's place in history and the importance of preserving the natural world for future generations to marvel at.
