1883 Bear Buns Feeding Feeds Zoos


EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "A Little Boy Feeding a Baby Bear," is an enchanting glimpse into the past, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online archives, dating back to 1883. The image transports us to a time when the wonders of the natural world were still a novelty, and the connection between humans and animals was more intimate. Set in a quaint British zoo, the scene unfolds as a young boy, dressed in a simple shirt and trousers, tenderly extends a basket of buns towards a baby bear. The bear, no larger than a large dog, gazes up at the boy with curious, gentle eyes, its tiny paws reaching out to grasp the offered treat. The atmosphere is peaceful, with the lush greenery of the enclosure providing a serene backdrop. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its representation of the early days of zoos and the relationship between humans and animals. Zoos in the late 19th century were more akin to menageries, with a focus on displaying exotic creatures for public entertainment. However, this image showcases a more compassionate and interactive approach, where visitors were encouraged to engage with the animals. The boy's fearless yet gentle demeanor towards the baby bear is a testament to the trust and bond that could be formed between humans and animals during this era. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and understanding our natural world, a value that remains relevant today. In conclusion, "A Little Boy Feeding a Baby Bear" is a captivating historical photograph that evokes a sense of wonder, nostalgia, and appreciation for the connection between humans and animals. It is a poignant reminder of the past and a reminder of the importance of preserving and nurturing the bond between us and the natural world.
