THE COLONIAL AND INDIAN EXHIBITION, 1886 



THE JUNGLE 



AND INDIAN ANIMAL LIFE 



WAS DESIGNED AND ARRANGED, AND THE ANIMALS MODELLED, BV 



ROWLAND WARD, F.Z.S. 



WHAT THE PRESS SAID: 



" But everything else here is likely to be forgotten in presence of the wonderful jungle scene which Mr. Rowland 

 Ward has constructed. . . . This will certainly be the first of the many attractions to which visitors will turn. . . . 

 They will find themselves in presence of a scene which is likely to keep their gaze for some time. Mr. Ward 

 has made the most of his limited space, into which he has collected the scenery and life which, in reality, is found 

 scattered over an area of many thousand square miles. On the right we have a trophy from Cooch Behar, formed 

 by His Highness the Maharajah, the most prominent feature of which is a tiger hunt. We see a great group in the 

 deep grass jungle. . . . Adjoining this are trophies designed to represent generally the Fauna and Flora of India, 

 by representative animals and birds, picturesquely grouped in illustration of their life-habits." Times. 



" The visitors . . . were lost in admiration of Mr. Rowland Ward's masterly designs, modellings, and general 

 arrangement. The novelty is already known as 'the Jungle.' . . . The deep grass jungle is occupied necessarily 

 by many creatures which would not in their native wilds be found in such close companionship. . . . The scene 

 is rendered with true tragic power." Daily News. 



" These numerous beasts . . . seem to illustrate the Fauna of India in a most vivid manner, and are very 

 artistically prepared and arranged. . . . The entire trophy has been prepared by Mr. Rowland Ward. This 

 group will unquestionably be one of the leading attractions of an exhibition which is already full of marvellous 

 things." Morning Post. 



" Fitted up with the most perfect completeness^a jungle the work of Mr. Rowland Ward. . . . The whole 

 scene depicted is so life-like that one is startled by its vivid realism. . . . This jungle alone is almost enough to 

 make an exhibition. . . . Besides, Mr. Rowland Ward has designed and arranged such other scenes in connection 

 with several Colonial Courts." Daily Chronicle. 



" Mr. Rowland Ward, of Piccadilly, provides what will probably prove the most attractive feature of the 

 exhibition, in the form of a series of picturesque trophies representing India, Ceylon, South Africa, Canada, and 

 Queensland. " Sportsman. 



" Perhaps the first place must be accorded to the jungle scene of Mr. Rowland Ward, which stands at the head 

 of the Indian Courts, and which will certainly prove one of the favourite sights of the vast show." Daily Telegraph.

 closely imitated." South Africa.
