EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back to the year 1928, offering a glimpse into the enchanting world of London Zoo's Reptile House. The image showcases not only the architectural beauty of this iconic building but also the meticulous attention given to its surroundings. Formal flower beds line the paths leading up to the entrance, adding a touch of elegance and color to an otherwise serene setting. These vibrant blooms create a striking contrast against the monochromatic backdrop, capturing our imagination and transporting us back in time. Designed by Dr. Joan Beauchamp Procter, Curator of Reptiles, in collaboration with architect Sir Edward Guy Dawber, this remarkable structure was completed just two years prior. Its purpose was not only to house reptiles but also to provide visitors with an immersive experience like no other. As we gaze at this historic snapshot, we can almost hear whispers from within as exotic creatures slither through their habitats. This photograph serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's wonders coexisting harmoniously within one space. Preserved for generations to come by Frederick William Bond's lens, this timeless image reminds us of London Zoo's rich history and its commitment towards conservation and education. It invites us on a journey through time while igniting our curiosity about these fascinating reptilian inhabitants that have captivated audiences for decades.
