EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time at London Zoo, August 1926. In the image, we see a female Asiatic Elephant receiving special care from her dedicated keepers. The focus of their attention is on trimming the elephant's feet, an essential task to ensure her well-being. The immense size and strength of this majestic creature are evident as she stands patiently on a stool while her keepers work diligently around her. The photo provides a rare glimpse into the intimate bond between humans and animals, showcasing the trust that exists between them. The historical significance of this image cannot be overstated. It serves as a testament to the tireless efforts made by zoological institutions like London Zoo to provide proper care for their animal residents. This particular elephant represents not only her species but also symbolizes all elephants under human protection. Frederick William Bond expertly captured this scene with his camera lens, highlighting every detail from the side view of the elephant's massive frame to its rear view against the backdrop of its enclosure. Through his skillful photography, he immortalized this moment forever. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, it reminds us of our responsibility towards these magnificent creatures and encourages us to appreciate their beauty and importance in our world.
