EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a regal moment in the history of London Zoo. Taken by Frederick William Bond in August 1927, it showcases a magnificent Crowned/Sahel/West African Bush Duiker within its enclosure. The duiker stands proudly, its full length visible as it faces the camera with an air of confidence. The image transports us back to a time when the exploration and display of exotic animals were at the forefront of public fascination. The Zoological Society of London played a vital role in bringing these creatures from distant lands to captivate audiences and educate them about our diverse natural world. The West African Bush Duiker, belonging to the bovidae family, is beautifully captured here with its distinctive crowned horns on display. Its elegant stature and graceful presence are accentuated against the backdrop of this historical setting. This photograph not only serves as a testament to Bond's skillful photography but also offers us a glimpse into an era where wildlife conservation was beginning to take shape. It reminds us that even then, efforts were made to preserve and appreciate these remarkable hoofed mammals from far-off regions like Sahel in West Africa. As we admire this stunning monochromatic print, let us reflect on how far we have come in our understanding and appreciation for all creatures great and small.
