EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment of natural beauty at the London Zoo in October 1922. The image showcases a mature Wallichs Deer stag, gracefully shedding its velvet antlers. The photographer, Frederick William Bond, skillfully captures the intricate details of this majestic creature. Also known as the Shou, Central Asian or Tibetan Red Deer, this particular species is renowned for its striking appearance and powerful presence. As we observe this magnificent animal in its natural habitat within the confines of the zoo, we are reminded of the importance of conservation efforts to protect such extraordinary creatures. The stag's antlers stand tall and proud against the backdrop of lush greenery, symbolizing strength and dominance. Its richly textured velvet coat adds an element of softness to its otherwise robust physique. This snapshot freezes a fleeting moment in time when nature reveals one of its most intriguing processes - shedding velvet. Through this photograph, we are transported back almost a century ago to witness firsthand the wonders that London Zoo has offered throughout history. It serves as a reminder that zoological institutions play an essential role not only in educating visitors about wildlife but also in preserving endangered species for future generations to appreciate and admire. Bond's masterful composition immortalizes this remarkable creature forever on film – a testament to his talent as well as his dedication to capturing nature's inherent beauty through photography.
