EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Zoo, Washington, D.C. Sokko, The Monkey, 1917," showcases a moment of connection between a keeper and his primate companion, Sokko, at the Washington, D.C. Zoo. The image, created by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, captures Sokko in a seated position, intently focusing on a table laden with fruits and nuts, while the keeper, likely identified as Martha Kuntze or Martha Ewing Newcombe, looks on with a gentle expression. The glass negative, a testament to the photographic techniques of the era, beautifully preserves the details of the scene, from the intricate patterns on the wooden furniture to the textures of the monkey's fur and the keeper's clothing. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the relationship between humans and animals during the early 20th century. Sokko, with his curious gaze and human-like posture, invites the viewer to ponder the complexities of animal intelligence and emotions. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich history of the Washington, D.C. Zoo and its role in showcasing the natural world to the public. This photograph, a treasure from the Library of Congress, is a testament to the artistry and historical significance of early 20th-century photography. It invites us to reflect on the enduring bond between humans and animals and the role that photography plays in preserving and documenting these moments in time.
