EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time at the London Zoo in September 1928. In this image, we see a majestic Climbing Perch gracefully resting on rocks and gravel at the bottom of its tank. The fish's full length is beautifully displayed as it rests on its side, showcasing its unique features. The Climbing Perch, also known as an Anabas testudineus, is an Asian species that belongs to the family Anabantidae. Its ability to climb trees and survive out of water for short periods makes it truly remarkable. This historical snapshot allows us to marvel at the wonders of nature and appreciate the diversity found within our aquatic ecosystems. Frederick William Bond skillfully captured this scene with his camera lens, highlighting both the intricate details of the fish and its serene surroundings. The contrasting textures of rocks and gravel create a visually appealing composition while providing a natural habitat for this magnificent creature. As we gaze upon this photograph from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of the beauty that exists beneath the surface of our world's waters. It serves as a testament to mankind's fascination with wildlife throughout history and invites us to reflect on our role in preserving these delicate ecosystems for future generations to enjoy.
