EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a fascinating moment at London Zoo in 1923. In the image, we see a Cane Toad perched on top of scales, patiently awaiting its turn to be weighed. The photographer, Frederick William Bond, has beautifully captured this unique encounter between man and amphibian. The Cane Toad, also known as the Giant Toad or Marine Toad, is an impressive creature that can grow to substantial sizes. This particular specimen seems calm and composed as it sits on the delicate balance of the scales. Its textured skin and bulging eyes are highlighted by the monochromatic tones of the photograph. Weighing animals was a common practice in zoos during this time period as it provided valuable information about their health and growth. The photo not only showcases this scientific process but also highlights the intricate relationship between humans and wildlife. As we observe this image from nearly a century ago, we are reminded of our ongoing fascination with nature's wonders. It serves as a testament to our continuous efforts to understand and appreciate the diverse species that share our planet. Overall, this photograph offers us a glimpse into history while celebrating both artistry and scientific curiosity.
