EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic presence of a young male African elephant named Kiberenge, standing proudly in front of the iconic Elephant House at London Zoo. The image, taken in June 1927 by Frederick William Bond, showcases the sheer size and beauty of this magnificent creature. Kiberenge was a special addition to London Zoo, presented as a gift by H. E. Sir Horace Byatt on September 14th, 1923. Born in February 1922, he quickly became a beloved resident of the zoo and an attraction for visitors from all over. The photo highlights not only Kiberenge's impressive stature but also his gentle demeanor. His expressive eyes seem to convey intelligence and curiosity about his surroundings. As one gazes upon this image, it is impossible not to be captivated by the grace with which he carries himself. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into wildlife conservation efforts during the early twentieth century when zoos played an important role in educating people about exotic animals. It serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect these incredible creatures and their natural habitats. Frederick William Bond's skillful photography immortalizes Kiberenge's legacy within the annals of natural history. This print serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation that transports us back to a time when elephants like Kiberenge were revered symbols of wonderment and awe-inspiring beauty.
