EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Frederick William Bond in 1928, transports us back in time to the London Zoo. In this mesmerizing image, we see a pig-tailed macaque perched on a tiled ledge within her enclosure, cradling her precious baby in her arms. The mother macaque exudes an air of tenderness and protectiveness as she gazes down at her little one. Her pigtail hangs loosely over her shoulder while she sits with grace and poise. The intricate details of the tiled ledge add a touch of elegance to the scene, contrasting beautifully with the natural beauty of these primates. This historical snapshot captures not only the unique bond between mother and child but also offers insight into our fascination with wildlife throughout history. It serves as a reminder that even within the confines of captivity, animals possess an innate ability to nurture their young and display vulnerability. As we observe this pair from a side view, it becomes evident that they belong to the primate family - haplorhini - specifically known as pig-tailed macaques or Macaca nemestrina. These intelligent mammals have long been subjects of scientific study due to their close resemblance to humans. Frederick William Bond's skillful photography allows us to appreciate both the aesthetic beauty and emotional depth present in this remarkable moment frozen in time at London Zoo almost a century ago.
