Punch,  27 (1854), 96.

A Vacuum that wants Filling Up

Anon

Genre:

News-Commentary, Drollery

Subjects:

Zoological Gardens, Amusement, Temperance


    Considering the fact that teetotallers will be controlling the Surrey Zoological Gardens, wonders what they will have in place of the 'volcanos' which, Punch speculates, will be considered inappropriate because they are the 'aggregate result of repeated drops of the "crater" [the ancient Greek vessel for holding wine]'.
