EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time at the Mappin Terraces of London Zoo in 1921. In this image, we see a majestic Black Bear standing upright in its enclosure, showcasing its immense size and strength. The bear's powerful hind legs support its massive body as it stands tall, providing us with a rare glimpse into the natural behavior of this magnificent creature. The Mappin Terraces serve as an exhibit for various carnivores, but it is the Black Bear that steals the spotlight here. With its sleek fur glistening under the sunlight, every detail of this remarkable mammal is beautifully captured by photographer Frederick William Bond. As we observe this historical photograph, we are reminded of both the awe-inspiring beauty and vulnerability of wildlife held captive within zoos. This image serves as a testament to our fascination with these incredible creatures while also raising questions about their well-being and freedom. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece of history from London Zoo, allowing us to appreciate not only the artistry behind Bond's photography but also reflect on our relationship with animals in captivity. It reminds us that even though they may be confined within enclosures like this one, their wild spirit remains untamed and deserving of respect and protection.
