EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back to the year 1928, capturing a timeless moment at The Camel House in London Zoo. The image, captured by Frederick William Bond, showcases the majestic beauty of these magnificent creatures against the backdrop of the historic Clock Tower. The Camel House itself holds a rich history within the zoo's grounds. Originally designed by Decimus Burton in 1828 for llamas, it was later transformed into its current form with camels replacing their predecessors. Standing tall and proud, the Clock Tower adds an air of elegance to this architectural gem. In this photograph, we see a side view of two bactrian camels standing together. Their full-length figures are highlighted against the stark contrast of black and white tones. These hoofed mammals exude grace as they pose for Bond's lens. As we delve into this snapshot from yesteryears, we are transported to a time when zoological wonders fascinated visitors from all walks of life. This historical image serves as a reminder not only of our fascination with exotic animals but also our commitment to preserving their habitats for generations to come. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece of history through their fine art print collection. It is an invitation for us to appreciate both nature's wonders and human ingenuity that have shaped places like The Camel House at London Zoo into iconic landmarks throughout time.
