EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the innocence and wonder of childhood as two young boys ride a zebra at the zoo. The image, taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, is reminiscent of a bygone era when zoos were filled with exotic animals that sparked curiosity and excitement in visitors.
The boys' faces are filled with joy and excitement as they hold onto the reins of the zebra, their legs dangling down on either side of its striped back. The contrast between the dark stripes of the zebra and the light background adds to the timeless charm of this scene.
This photograph is not just a snapshot in time but also a window into a world where children could interact closely with wild animals under careful supervision. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when such interactions were possible without concern for safety or conservation.
As we look at this image today, we can't help but feel nostalgic for those carefree days spent exploring zoos and marveling at nature's wonders. It is a testament to our enduring fascination with wildlife and our desire to connect with it in meaningful ways.
