Synopsis "In the Footsteps of Zarafa, First Giraffe in France: A Chronicle of Giraffomania, 1826-1845 (in English)"
This engaging account traces the remarkable history of France's first giraffe, a gift from an Egyptian Pasha to King Charles X in 1826. "Zarafa," who was taken by boat from Egypt to Marseille and walked all the way to Paris, drew vast crowds, epitomizing European reactions to the exotic "other" in times of great social change.
