# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Capturing the Unicorn: Empire and the Global Animal Trade
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 17 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: In 1834, the Zoological Institute of New York proudly advertised “the unicorn” to Albany residents. Rhinoceros unicornis—otherwise known as the Indian rhinoceros—had become the essential inhabitant of traveling menageries across Europe and North America, launching a scramble to commodify one of the world’s strongest animals. This talk follows the rhinoceros as it traveled from Assam to America, revealing how the global animal trade rested on Indigenous knowledge, American diplomacy, and the expansion of British imperial power.
Presented by the Grange Winter Lyceum series
