About the Author

The New York Zoological Park, established in 1899 as one of America's premier wildlife institutions, has long been a beacon for conservation and education through its publications. This official guide, authored under the park's auspices by the visionary director William T. Hornaday and illustrated by Elwin R. Sanborn, captures the essence of the Bronx Zoo in 1913 with detailed maps, plans, and vivid illustrations. Hornaday, a pioneering figure in wildlife protection, infused the work with his passion for preserving endangered species, offering visitors an immersive journey through the park's habitats and exhibits. This leather-bound edition remains a treasured artifact, reflecting the park's commitment to fostering appreciation for the natural world amid the urban landscape of early 20th-century New York.
