EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a heartwarming moment between Asian Elephants and their dedicated keepers at London Zoo in April 1914. The elephants, majestic creatures of immense strength and grace, stand side by side with their human companions, including the esteemed Charles Eyles. The significance of this image lies in its commemoration of the arrival of two male elephant calves named Jimbo and Jumbo. These adorable pachyderms were imported by the Daily Mirror newspaper around 1912 for promotional purposes before finding their permanent home at the zoo on April 1st, 1914. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the deep bond that exists between these intelligent animals and their caretakers. The keepers' faces radiate affection as they stand alongside these gentle giants, showcasing a profound connection built through trust and mutual understanding. The photograph serves as a testament to both the beauty of nature's creations and humanity's commitment to preserving them. It transports us back to an era when zoos played a crucial role in educating people about wildlife conservation while providing sanctuary for endangered species like Asian Elephants. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by Frederick William Bond, it is impossible not to be moved by the harmonious coexistence depicted within its frame – reminding us all of our responsibility to protect these magnificent creatures for generations to come.
