Description
Exotic animals were coveted commodities in nineteenth-century Britain.
Spectators flocked to zoos and menageries to see female lion tamers and hungry hippos.
Helen Cowie examines zoos and travelling menageries in the period 1800-1880, using animal exhibitions to examine issues of class, gender, imperial culture and animal welfare.
