CDVs:
although these cary a stamp of the ‘Jardin Zoologique d’Acclimatation de Paris au Bois du Boulogne’ on the back these CDVs were not taken there, since Paingu & Nuggasak sadly died prior to the group arriving in Paris. Probably they were taken in Hamburg in the backyard of Carl Hagenbeck’s Menagerie.
