Légende
Martial Hawk Eagle, 1895. 'From "Life at the Zoo: Notes and Traditions" by C. J. Cornish (Seeley and Co.). With illustrations from photographs by Gambier Bolton, F.Z.S....[A] chapter of chit-chat about fur and feathers in winter leads Mr. Cornish to this conclusion: "The frosts of winter are mainly interesting at the Zoo as the time when the inmates exhibit the full beauty and vitality of vigorous maturity." It is the general opinion - founded on a scientific basis, that the very reverse is the fact - that the depth of winter is not the time to see our guests at the Zoo at their best. When Mr. Cornish is actually describing life in the Zoo he is excellent, even if inconclusive. Mr. Gambier Bolton's photographs are admirable, and the publishers have done both author and artist the fullest justice in the way they have brought out the book'. Phil Robinson. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
