EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of a French zoo from the early 1900s, as depicted in this lantern slide from the Boswell collection. The image showcases a majestic Yak, its thick, shaggy white coat gleaming in the soft light, standing calmly amidst lush greenery. The serene atmosphere of the zoo is further emphasized by the absence of crowds and the tranquil setting. The Yak, a large bovid native to the Himalayas, was a popular exhibit in European zoos during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This magnificent creature, with its distinctive hump and powerful build, was a source of fascination for visitors. This photograph, taken circa 1900, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the old and new elements of the French zoo. In the background, you can see the remnants of the old zoo, with its rustic enclosures and traditional wooden structures. Meanwhile, the new zoo is visible in the form of a modern, stone building, symbolizing the progress and evolution of the zoological world. The lantern slide, part of the extensive Boswell collection, is a testament to the rich history of animal conservation and the enduring fascination with the natural world. This image not only captures the essence of a bygone era but also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting the diverse wildlife that continues to captivate us today.
