EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic presence of Eliza, a female Black Rhinoceros at London Zoo in 1928. The image, taken by Frederick William Bond, showcases Eliza's powerful yet graceful physique as she stands proudly for the camera. Eliza arrived at London Zoo in 1923 and quickly became a beloved attraction among visitors. Her striking features and enigmatic aura made her an iconic figure within the zoo community. This historical snapshot allows us to glimpse into a time when wildlife conservation was still in its infancy, highlighting the importance of preserving these magnificent creatures. The mid-shot composition provides a detailed view of Eliza's impressive horn and distinctive skin texture. Her side profile reveals her strong facial structure and expressive eyes that seem to hold centuries of wisdom within them. As one of Africa's most endangered species, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our responsibility to protect these incredible animals from extinction. Eliza's story is both inspiring and bittersweet; although she was eventually sold in 1938, her legacy lives on through images like this one. Through the lens of Bond's photography, we are transported back to a bygone era where humans marveled at nature's wonders with awe and reverence. This timeless piece invites us to reflect on our relationship with wildlife and encourages us to take action towards their preservation for future generations to appreciate.
