In the early 1900s, President Theodore Roosevelt embarked on a remarkable African safari, where he encountered a majestic white rhino. Captured in a black and white photograph from March 1910, this iconic image showcases the president's fascination with these incredible creatures. Meanwhile, in Aesop's fables brought to life through an engraving published in 1903, "The Fox and the Frog" highlights the diverse animal kingdom that includes even the mighty rhinoceros. This depiction reminds us of the timeless wisdom found within these ancient tales. Moving forward in time, we catch a glimpse of a three-year-old rhinoceros captured forever in bronze with a rich black-brown patina. Created around 1910, this sculpture immortalizes the youthful energy and strength of these magnificent beasts. During World War I, Colonel de Barrage humorously donned his armor as depicted by Bairnsfather cartoonist. In this comical illustration, even amidst war chaos, there is room for laughter at unexpected encounters between humans and animals like our armored friend encountering a rhino. Shifting gears to present-day London Zoo brings us closer to Lorna - an enchanting resident who enjoys daily showers courtesy of her dedicated keeper Harry Dean. These heartwarming moments capture their unique bond while reminding us of humanity's responsibility towards protecting endangered species like Lorna. Venturing further into history takes us back to Edward Walford's Old and New London where we step inside The Mammalia Saloon - an intriguing illustration showcasing various exotic animals including our beloved rhinoceros. This vivid portrayal transports us back to Victorian times when such saloons were popular attractions for curious minds seeking knowledge about wildlife from distant lands. Zooming into Hlane Royal National Park game reserve reveals breathtaking close-ups of white rhinos - one capturing its piercing gaze while another depicts it charging fearlessly through its natural habitat. These powerful images remind us of the raw strength and resilience possessed by these incredible creatures.
