EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1914, we see a remarkable moment between Charles Eyles, a dedicated keeper, and Suffa Culli, affectionately known as "the Black Rose". This stunning image was captured by Frederick William Bond and is now part of the Zoological Society of London's collection. Suffa Culli, an Indian elephant who resided at ZSL London Zoo from 1876 to 1917, stands majestically beside her devoted keeper. The mid-shot composition allows us to appreciate the sheer size and power of this magnificent creature. With her mouth open wide in what appears to be a gentle gesture, Suffa Culli showcases her impressive tusks. Charles Eyles stands proudly next to his beloved companion with a sense of admiration evident on his face. Their bond is palpable even through the lens of the camera. This image serves as a testament to the deep connection that can form between humans and animals. The historical significance of this photograph cannot be overstated. It offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century zookeeping practices while also highlighting the beauty and grandeur of these incredible creatures. Through its timeless appeal, it reminds us of our responsibility towards animal welfare and conservation efforts. This striking print captures not only an unforgettable moment but also invites contemplation about our relationship with wildlife and how we can protect these magnificent species for generations to come.
