EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time at the London Zoo in October 1925. The image showcases the majestic presence of an Indian/Spectacled/Asian/Binocellate Cobra, its head raised high and its hood flared in a display of power and intimidation. The snake's sleek body is fully visible, allowing us to appreciate its intricate patterns and textures. Its rear view adds an element of mystery as we wonder what has caught its attention or provoked such a striking pose. Photographer Frederick William Bond skillfully captures the essence of this venomous creature, highlighting both its beauty and danger. The contrast between light and shadow further enhances the drama unfolding within the frame. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded of humanity's fascination with exotic creatures from distant lands. This image serves as a testament to our desire to understand and appreciate nature's wonders, even when they may be potentially lethal. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness one extraordinary moment at the London Zoo—a moment that reminds us of both our vulnerability in the face of nature's power and our enduring curiosity about all living beings that share our planet.
