EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful photograph captured in 1919, we witness the heartwarming interaction between Keeper Ernie Sceales and three playful penguins at London Zoo. With a watering can in hand, Sceales takes on the role of caretaker as he showers these adorable creatures with water droplets. The image showcases the unique bond formed between humans and animals within the confines of a zoo. The scene is filled with joyous energy as visitors watch in awe, captivated by this charming display of nature's wonders. As one of London's most beloved attractions, the zoo provides an opportunity for people to connect with wildlife from all corners of the globe. Ernie Sceales stands out as a dedicated keeper who goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being of his feathered friends. His gentle touch and nurturing spirit are evident as he tends to their needs amidst an era marked by rapid industrialization and societal change. This snapshot transports us back to the 1920s, allowing us to glimpse into a time when zoos played a vital role in educating society about different species while also providing entertainment for visitors. It serves as a reminder that even within urban landscapes, there exists space for harmony between humans and animals – where moments like these can be cherished forever. Through Frederick William Bond's lens, we are reminded of our responsibility towards preserving our natural world while celebrating its beauty through captivating imagery like this timeless photograph.
