EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Filming Evelyn Spices Zoo Babies (1938)", offers a rare glimpse into the world of natural history photographers. Taken by an unknown photographer and preserved by the British Film Institute, this image transports us back to a time when capturing wildlife on film was both a passion and a profession. In this particular scene, we see Evelyn Spices, an acclaimed natural history photographer of her era, immersed in her work. With focused determination etched across her face, she meticulously positions herself amidst the enchanting backdrop of zoo babies. The adorable creatures seem unaware of their role as subjects; instead, they curiously observe Evelyn's every move. The photograph not only captures the essence of filmmaking but also serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with animals. It reminds us that even in 1938 - long before high-definition documentaries flooded our screens - people were captivated by the wonders of nature. While little is known about the context surrounding this specific shoot or its purpose beyond documenting these delightful zoo babies, one thing is certain: it encapsulates an era where filmmakers like Evelyn Spices dedicated their lives to bringing wildlife closer to audiences worldwide through their lens. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate the dedication and artistry required to capture such moments while acknowledging how far we have come in our understanding and appreciation for both filmmaking techniques and conservation efforts today.
