EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken in 1924 at the London Zoo, we are transported back to a time when cowgirls showcased their remarkable skills on an international stage. Standing astride two majestic llamas, a fearless cowgirl commands attention from both onlookers and zookeepers alike. The image captures the essence of a historical moment when the first International Rodeo or Cowboy Championships took place as part of the British Empire Exhibition. With over 100,000 spectators filling Wembley Stadium in June 1924, these talented cowgirls astounded crowds with their daring performances. The photo not only showcases the unique bond between humans and animals but also highlights the significance of this event in history. The pair of llamas stand tall and proud as they carry their confident rider through the bustling zoo grounds. Their graceful presence adds to the allure of this snapshot frozen in time. This image serves as a reminder that even within urban landscapes like London's famous zoo, there is room for adventure and unexpected encounters. Preserved by Frederick William Bond's lens, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an era where rodeos were celebrated worldwide and women defied societal norms by showcasing their equestrian prowess. It stands as a testament to human determination and our enduring fascination with hoofed mammals such as llamas. As we admire this vintage print today, it reminds us that history is made up of extraordinary moments captured forever through photography – moments that continue to inspire generations long after they have passed.
