EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Frederick William Bond in July 1914, transports us back in time to the London Zoo. The image features a pair of magnificent American Alligators basking under the sun's rays. These reptiles, belonging to the Crocodylidae family, are captured in their natural habitat within the confines of the zoo. The composition showcases the raw beauty of these animals as they rest on land near a body of water. Their scaly skin glistens against the contrasting backdrop, highlighting their unique texture and formidable presence. With jaws slightly open and eyes fixed ahead, they exude an air of both power and tranquility. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of our fascination with wildlife and our desire to understand more about nature's wonders. This photograph serves as a testament to humanity's longstanding relationship with zoos as educational institutions that allow us to observe exotic creatures up close. Bond's skillful photography captures not only the physical attributes but also hints at the mysterious allure that surrounds these ancient creatures. It invites us into their world for just a moment - an encounter frozen in time. In this print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate both Bond's artistry behind capturing such an intriguing moment and our own curiosity about these awe-inspiring creatures who continue to captivate audiences today.
