EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a young Indian Rhinoceros at the London Zoo in June 1922. The image, taken by Frederick William Bond, showcases the majestic beauty of this magnificent creature. The rhino calf featured in the photo was part of a special collection presented to the Prince of Wales by the Maharajah of Nepal on December 18th, 1921. After their long journey from Nepal, these exotic animals arrived in London on April 7th, 1922. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a zookeeper standing beside the young rhinoceros. His presence emphasizes both the size and strength of this incredible mammal. The keeper's careful watch over his charge is evident as he ensures its well-being within its new surroundings. This image not only highlights the natural history and wildlife found within zoos but also provides us with a glimpse into early twentieth-century society's fascination with exotic creatures from distant lands. It serves as a reminder of our ongoing efforts to preserve endangered species like the Indian Rhinoceros. As we admire this remarkable photograph captured almost a century ago, it sparks curiosity about how much has changed since then while reminding us that some things remain constant – our awe-inspiring connection to nature and our responsibility to protect it for future generations.
