EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the graceful presence of Female Burmese Elephant Mo Gay Ko alongside her trainer, Law Wee Lee, outside the iconic Elephant House at London Zoo in 1923. In this historical snapshot, we see a keeper and another elephant in the background, adding to the enchanting atmosphere. Mo Gay Ko was a remarkable addition to the zoo, presented by Dr. Saw Po Min and later loaned to be part of the Burmese section of the British Empire Exhibition from May to September 1924. She resided at London Zoo until her passing on August 11th, 1937. The image showcases Law Wee Lee kneeling beside Mo Gay Ko with an air of mutual respect between them. The bond they shared is evident as they sit together comfortably amidst their surroundings. This moment offers a glimpse into their daily routine within their enclosure. The photograph not only captures these magnificent creatures but also provides insight into early twentieth-century zoological practices. It serves as a testament to both human-animal relationships and our fascination with exotic species during that era. Preserved through time, this stunning print allows us to appreciate the beauty and majesty of elephants while reflecting on our ever-evolving understanding of wildlife conservation and animal welfare today.
