EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in July 1924, we are transported back in time to the London Zoo where a heartwarming scene unfolds. The image showcases the tender care provided by dedicated keepers to a young male African Elephant named Kiberenge. With a hose attached to a watering can, the keepers assist Kiberenge as he eagerly drinks from the refreshing stream of water. Kiberenge, born in February 1922 and presented to London Zoo by H. E. Sir Horace Byatt on September 14th, 1923, stands tall beside his caring guardians. His magnificent presence is captured beautifully as he gazes into the distance with his trunk raised gracefully. This historical snapshot not only highlights the bond between humans and animals but also serves as a testament to our responsibility towards their well-being. The compassion exhibited by these keepers reminds us of our duty to protect and nurture all creatures that share our planet. The timeless nature of this photograph allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and its significance within zoological history. Through Frederick William Bond's lens, we witness an intimate moment frozen in time – one that speaks volumes about humanity's connection with wildlife. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of the profound impact that acts of kindness can have on even the largest inhabitants of our world.
