Description: No bars, no high fences - Thanks to Carl Hagenbeck that’s how most zoos today look that way.THE FATHER OF MODERN ZOO DESIGNVON TIEREN UND MENSCHENErlebnisse und Erfahrungen.von CARL HAGENBECK Published by Vita Deutsches Verlagshaus, Berlin, Germany, 1909. GERMAN TEXT. Decorative illustrated Art Deco boards,  Gilt titles on front and spine. Colorful patterned endpapers.Very good hardcover, no dustjacket as issued. Tight binding, solid spine, clean unmarked text, some tears/chips to brittle pages, large tear to plate #28 (see photos). Illustrated, 4to, 460 pages, plus advertisements. Hagenbeck founded Germany's most successful privately owned zoo, the Tierpark Hagenbeck. He was a pioneer in zoo architecture and design. He was also a merchant of wild animals who supplied many European zoos, as well as circus magnate P. T. Barnum. He created the modern zoo with animal enclosures without bars that were closer to their natural habitat. The transformation of the zoo architecture initiated by him is known as the Hagenbeck revolution. In 1887 Hagenbeck took up the cause of humane treatment of animals with the aim of demonstrating that the beatings and hot irons then used in animal training were both cruel and unnecessary. In 1889 he introduced a lion act in which, as a finale, three lions pulled him around the cage in a chariot. After some years, the Hagenbeck system gradually replaced harsher training methods used in circuses and expositions in Europe and North America. During a trip to the United States in 1906, Hagenback sold his traveling animal show to Benjamin Wallace, who renamed it the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus. The following year, Hagenbeck opened a zoological garden at Stellingen, near Hamburg, where he exhibited animals in uncovered, barless pits. He developed panoramas for such animals as polar bears and tigers that imitated their native habitats. In addition to serving as a prototype for future zoos, Hagenbeck’s zoological garden was a source of animals for zoos and circuses. Not only animals were part of Carl Hagenbeck`s shows. In the 1870s he introduced to the public some sort of "human zoo". People of Sami, Nubians, Inuits, Somalis, East Indians and other representatives of distant countries, had to stage their everyday life and their cultures.Loc: E12StoreAdd to FavoritesFeedbackZOO ARCHITECTURE HAGENBECK REVOLUTION 1909 GERMAN 1st Ed RARE WILD ANIMAL CIRCUS No bars, no high fences - Thanks to Carl Hagenbeck that’s how most zoos today look that way.THE FATHER OF MODERN ZOO DESIGNVON TIEREN UND MENSCHENErlebnisse und Erfahrungen.von CARL HAGENBECK Published by Vita Deutsches Verlagshaus, Berlin, Germany, 1909.
