EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a unique moment at the London Zoo in August 1923. In the image, we see a giant/cane/marine toad being delicately held in its keeper's hands. The toad, with its impressive size and distinctive features, is an intriguing subject that immediately draws our attention. The photo showcases the strong bond between the keeper and this fascinating amphibian. The careful grip of the keeper's hands demonstrates both trust and expertise in handling such a creature. It is evident that this interaction takes place within the confines of captivity, highlighting the important role zoos play in preserving and studying various animal species. The historical significance of this image cannot be overlooked either. Taken almost a century ago, it offers us a glimpse into how animals were exhibited during that time period. The toad's presence serves as a testament to human curiosity about nature's wonders and our ongoing efforts to understand them better. Frederick William Bond, the photographer behind this remarkable shot, has masterfully captured not only the physical characteristics of these creatures but also their inherent beauty. Through his lens, we are transported back to an era where photography was still evolving as an art form. Overall, this photograph serves as a timeless reminder of our fascination with wildlife and our responsibility towards their conservation – something that continues to resonate strongly even today.
