EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in a timeless black and white frame, this photograph transports us back to September 1920 at the renowned London Zoo. The image features a young hippopotamus named Bobbie, forming an unlikely bond with his dedicated keeper. The connection between the two is palpable as they stand side by side, their eyes locked in mutual trust and understanding. Bobbie's youthful exuberance shines through as he playfully nudges his keeper, while the keeper's gentle smile reveals a deep affection for his charge. This snapshot of natural history showcases the awe-inspiring presence of these magnificent creatures. The massive size and strength of hippos are evident even in their early years, yet here we witness their vulnerability and innocence. Frederick William Bond skillfully captures not only the physical beauty of Bobbie but also conveys the importance of human-animal relationships within zoological settings. This photo serves as a testament to the dedication and care provided by keepers who ensure that these remarkable animals thrive under human stewardship. As we gaze upon this vintage print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of our responsibility to protect and preserve Earth's diverse wildlife species for future generations. Let this enchanting encounter inspire us to cherish all living creatures that share our planet.
