EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Zoo, Washington, D.C.: Cheetah, 1916," showcases the grace and power of a cheetah as it lies calmly in its enclosure at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. The image was captured by the renowned photography studio of Harris & Ewing, specifically by George William Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze. The 1910s were an exciting time for the National Zoo, which had recently undergone significant expansion and modernization. The cheetah, a native of Africa, was a popular attraction for visitors, and this photograph offers a rare glimpse into the majesty of this magnificent feline species. The photograph was taken using a glass negative process, which was a common technique during the early 20th century. The resulting image is rich in detail and contrast, with the cheetah's spotted coat standing out against the dark background. The cheetah's eyes are alert and focused, adding to the sense of tension and energy that emanates from the photograph. The photograph is a testament to the art of photography during this era and the skill of the Harris & Ewing team in capturing the essence of their subjects. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving our natural heritage and the role that zoos play in educating the public about the natural world.
