EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1900, showcases a majestic Sambar deer (Rusa unicornis) standing outside a wooden door at a French zoo. The Sambar is a large and impressive deer species native to the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Its striking antlers, which can reach up to 1.5 meters in width, are a testament to its strength and power. The old-world charm of the zoo is evident in the wooden door, adorned with intricate carvings and a hanging lantern, which adds to the enchanting atmosphere. The Sambar deer, with its agile body and graceful movements, seems almost regal as it gazes curiously at the world beyond the door. This image is part of the Boswell collection, which documents the rich history of animals in zoos, both old and new. The collection offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the way animals were kept and displayed in zoos during the early 20th century. The Sambar deer is the largest deer species found in the Indian Subcontinent and is an important species in the forests of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and Southeast Asia. It is an herbivore, feeding on a variety of vegetation, including leaves, shoots, and fruits. The Sambar is also an important prey species for many predators, including tigers, leopards, and dholes. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the connection between humans and the natural world, and the role zoos have played in preserving and showcasing the diversity of animal life.
