I picked this up yesterday at an auction. If you enjoy zoo engravings as I do, old Illustrated London News pages offer many beautiful examples. Although they predominantly featured London and Regent Park Zoo, there are also occasional engravings from European Zoo's. We have to assume the two gentleman above, with the cubs, schmoozing with the Queen, are Hagenbeck's men.
