EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, two cowgirls strike a pose on the back of a magnificent Bactrian camel, held securely by its keeper. The image takes us back to the year 1924 when these daring women visited London Zoo during the British Empire Exhibition. As part of the First International Rodeo or Cowboy Championships held at Wembley Stadium, these fearless cowgirls showcased their equestrian skills in front of an awe-inspiring crowd of over 100,000 people. With grace and confidence, they rode atop this majestic creature, capturing the hearts and imaginations of all who witnessed their performance. The historical significance of this moment is palpable as it represents not only a unique cultural exchange but also highlights the growing fascination with Western traditions in early 20th-century Britain. The bond between humans and animals is beautifully portrayed through this snapshot - a testament to our ability to connect with creatures from different corners of the world. Preserved for generations to come, this extraordinary photograph serves as a reminder that even in times gone by, human beings have always sought adventure and embraced new experiences. It invites us to reflect upon our own capacity for exploration and reminds us that there are endless possibilities waiting just beyond our comfort zones.
