I think about a new table for some 45 Adventure Games a mix of Big cities and my DA terrain/animals.
So have one some ideas how a zoo look in 1920 till 1930 ?

Awesome idea!

Now, the main thing would be that species-appropriate keeping of animals was still far, far away. So you would like stone or concrete walls, with high iron fences/bars; additionally, some water trenches might be authentic.

Some lion dens, constructed in 1908:

Also holes. The bears hole in Paris in 1910 (there was a flood). I love the climbing pole.

So  100 years ago zoos weren't that much different from zoos today.  :freak:
"I'd like to send this letter to the Prussian consulate in Siam by aeromail. Am I too late for the 4:30 autogyro?"
"Uh, I better look in the manual... This book must be out of date. I don't see "Prussia", "Siam" or "autogyro"...
