EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the summer of 1922, this photograph showcases a delightful scene at London Zoo. Two young visitors, filled with excitement and wonder, are seen riding a majestic Bactrian camel under the watchful eye of their keeper. The children's faces radiate pure joy as they embark on this unforgettable adventure. The image transports us back to a bygone era when such encounters were rare and treasured. It serves as a testament to the timeless allure of zoos, where people from all walks of life can come face-to-face with exotic creatures from distant lands. The towering presence of the Bactrian camel commands attention, its double hump symbolizing strength and resilience. Led by their trusty keeper, both children hold onto the reins tightly while experiencing an exhilarating ride through the zoo grounds. Surrounding them are onlookers captivated by this enchanting sight; among them is a young girl who gazes in awe at her peers' daring escapade. This snapshot captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects the universal fascination humans have for these magnificent hoofed mammals. As we admire this historical gem, let us be reminded of our shared connection with nature and our responsibility to protect these remarkable creatures for future generations.
