EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time at London Zoo in June 1922. In the image, we see a majestic black leopard being transported in a cage by dedicated keepers. The leopard's sleek and powerful form contrasts against the bars of its temporary enclosure, highlighting both its beauty and captivity. The significance of this particular leopard becomes apparent when we learn that it was part of a collection gifted to the Prince of Wales by the Maharajah of Nepal on December 18th, 1921. Arriving in London on April 7th, 1922, these animals brought an exotic touch to the city's zoo. The dedication and care shown by the keepers is evident as they carefully transport this magnificent creature. Their presence adds scale to the photograph, reminding us of our role as stewards for these wild beings. This image offers us a glimpse into early twentieth-century wildlife conservation efforts and zoological practices. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with nature's wonders while also prompting reflection on our responsibility towards protecting and preserving them. Frederick William Bond's expertly captured moment freezes time for us to appreciate this striking scene from history—a testament to human curiosity about Earth's diverse inhabitants and their place within it.
