vintage JARDIN ZOOLOGIQUE d'ANVERS postcard booklet ANTWERP BELGIUM zoo

Description

[zipedit]
;
ITEM TYPE
:
This vintage 12 postcard booklet features buildings/interiors from the Antwerp Zoo....one of the oldest in the world (established 1843). There are no animals in the photos (except a couple of mounted animals behind glass, including an okapi, part of the natural history collection). I bet some of these wonderful old buildings are not longer around.....They are impressive! I see a huge pipe organ in one photo (the symphony building was 1897)....I worked in a zoo in the US for years, and we never had such wonderful architecture! Grand scale!
