In 1828, the Zoological Society of London opened its gardens in Regent's Park to scientific fellows, and by 1847 to the general public — and William Spooner's hand-coloured lithograph of c.1844, published as part of his Alphabet of Nature series, captures the gardens at the height of their early Victorian splendour: giraffes from Sudan, Bengal tigers, peacocks, bears, and exotic birds from every continent arranged across a panoramic composition that wraps the full cover, front and back, in a single continuous scene of the world's animals gathered in one extraordinary London park, rendered with the chromatic richness and popular appeal that made Spooner's educational prints among the most beloved of the Victorian era.
