Framed Print of Odd Sketches at the Zoological Gardens: Wool-Gatherers, 1881. Creator: Unknown
Odd Sketches at the Zoological Gardens: Wool-Gatherers, 1881. Among the observant and meditative visitors to those instructive garden-exhibitions of foreign beasts and birds...in the principal cities of Europe...some minds will be tempted to detect whimsical likenesses between the different species of animals there on view, and the variety of characteristic human figures met with inside or outside the precincts allotted to the zoological collection. A few droll examples of this kind of undesigned and unconscious resemblances, which may be seen either in the face, the gesture and attitude, or the symptoms of temper and moral disposition, so far as irrational creatures may be credited with a moral faculty, have been set forth in the drawings by one of our Artists...[This one represents a] sheepish-looking muff, who is talking incoherently with the young lady, to a woolly specimen of some wild variety of the ovine genus from the Himalayan hill-country, standing a little beyond him....That one touch of nature which makes the whole world kin seems here to be multiplied into many diverse touches; suggesting a kindred nature, in some respects, between certain brutes or feathered bipeds, and certain individuals of mankind'.
