EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in September 1928, we are transported back in time to the Mappin Terraces at London Zoo. Standing proudly at the edge of its enclosure is a magnificent Polar Bear, exuding an air of both strength and vulnerability. The bear's full-length profile allows us to appreciate its sheer size and power. Its thick fur glistens under the sunlight, contrasting beautifully with the stark background. With a side view captured by Frederick William Bond, we can observe every detail - from its sharp claws to its alert ears. As one of nature's most iconic carnivores, this polar bear represents not only the beauty of wildlife but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards conservation efforts. The image evokes a sense of awe and respect for these majestic creatures that roam our planet. Preserved through time by Bridgeman Images, this historical print offers us a glimpse into early zoological practices while showcasing the timeless allure of animal photography. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with capturing moments in nature and preserving them for future generations. Let this photograph transport you back to an era where wild animals were admired within enclosures, inviting reflection on how far we have come in understanding their needs and protecting their habitats.
