EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a heartwarming moment at the London Zoo in June 1922. In the center of the frame stands a baby Indian Elephant, surrounded by its dedicated keepers A. Church and H. Robertson. The bond between these majestic creatures and their caretakers is evident as they stand side by side. The story behind this adorable calf adds an extra layer of significance to the image. This particular elephant was part of a collection presented to the Prince of Wales by the Maharajah of Nepal on December 18th, 1921. After traveling from afar, they arrived in London on April 7th, 1922, bringing joy and fascination to all who encountered them. The photo showcases not only the beauty of nature but also highlights humanity's role in protecting and caring for these incredible animals. It serves as a reminder that zoos play an essential role in conservation efforts while providing educational opportunities for visitors. Frederick William Bond skillfully captured this snapshot during an era when wildlife photography was still emerging as an art form. His composition allows us to appreciate both the delicate features of this young elephant and the dedication shown by its keepers. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we are transported back to a time when humans marveled at exotic creatures from distant lands—a testament to our enduring fascination with nature's wonders.
