EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a rare moment at the London Zoo in April 1923. In the frame stands a majestic female takin, also known as a cattle chamois or gnu goat, accompanied by her dedicated handler. The image was skillfully captured by Frederick William Bond, an accomplished British photographer. The takin's full-length profile showcases its impressive size and unique features. Its sturdy hooves firmly planted on the ground depict strength and resilience. The collar around its neck suggests that this magnificent creature is under the care of the zookeeper, who stands beside it with pride. Originating from the eastern Himalayas, these vulnerable hoofed mammals are part of the bovidae family. Their presence in zoos plays a crucial role in conservation efforts to protect their species. Bond's timeless photograph not only highlights the beauty of this remarkable animal but also pays homage to those who work tirelessly behind-the-scenes at zoological institutions like London Zoo. It serves as a reminder of our responsibility to safeguard endangered species for future generations. This historical snapshot takes us back to an era when wildlife photography was still emerging as an art form. Through Bond's lens, we glimpse into early 20th-century life and witness humanity's fascination with capturing nature's wonders on film.
