EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken in 1922 at the Mappin Terraces of London Zoo, we are transported back in time to witness a remarkable encounter between a majestic Brown Bear and curious visitors. The bear sits up on its hind legs, towering over the crowd with an air of confidence and curiosity. Its powerful presence is both awe-inspiring and endearing. The visitors stand in front of the bear's enclosure, their faces filled with wonderment as they observe this magnificent creature up close. Some even wave excitedly, attempting to establish a connection with the wild animal before them. It is as if for a brief moment, barriers dissolve between human beings and nature. Frederick William Bond skillfully captures this unique interaction through his lens, highlighting not only the beauty of wildlife but also our innate fascination with it. This image serves as a reminder that zoos have long played an important role in connecting people to the natural world by bringing animals closer to us. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we can't help but reflect on how attitudes towards animal welfare have evolved since then. Nevertheless, it remains an evocative snapshot frozen in time – one that sparks our imagination and reminds us of our deep-rooted connection to these incredible creatures who share our planet.
