EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time at London Zoo in August 1926. The image showcases two majestic Asiatic elephants, their massive frames drawing the attention of a bustling crowd of onlookers. It is a snapshot of history, frozen in time. The atmosphere is palpable as visitors eagerly gather to witness these magnificent creatures up close. Excitement fills the air as children and adults alike wait for their turn to experience an unforgettable elephant ride. The elephants stand tall, their gentle demeanor contrasting with their immense size. In this photograph, we see the rear view of one elephant facing towards the crowd while another stands beside it, both patiently awaiting their riders. Their wrinkled skin and long trunks are characteristic features that make them instantly recognizable as members of the proboscidea family. Taken by Frederick William Bond, this remarkable image offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when such attractions were common during bank holidays. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with wildlife and our desire to connect with nature's wonders. Preserved through time, this historical photograph allows us to appreciate the beauty and grandeur of these Asian giants while also reflecting on how our understanding and treatment of animals has evolved over the years.
