EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and prepare to be amazed at the wonders of the Royal Menagerie, located in the heart of London's Exeter Change on the Strand. This print invites us to experience the exotic allure of this Victorian-era menagerie, showcasing a diverse array of animals from around the globe. The Royal Menagerie, a popular form of entertainment in 19th century Europe, was renowned for its impressive collection of rare and exotic creatures. From majestic elephants and graceful zebras, to fearsome lions and tigers, the menagerie offered visitors a glimpse into the natural world that was otherwise inaccessible. This intriguing poster, dated circa 1820, features a vibrant image of a token or admission ticket, enticing potential visitors to come and witness the marvels within. The ornate design of the ticket, adorned with the image of a lion and the words "Royal Menagerie, Exeter Change, Strand, London," adds to the sense of grandeur and excitement. The menagerie was the brainchild of Gilbert Pidock, a renowned showman and entrepreneur, who travelled the world to acquire the most exotic animals for his collection. Pidock's menagerie was a sensation, attracting visitors from all walks of life, including royalty, nobility, and the common man. This print is a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the wonders of the natural world could be found in the heart of London, and the thrill of discovery was just a penny's worth of admission away.
