EDITORS COMMENTS
A Delicate Feast: Tender Moments at Zoo Aldin, 1907 This enchanting photograph captures a tender moment at Zoo Aldin, as a young tiger cub reaches out with eager anticipation to claim a treat from its keeper. The cub's bright, inquisitive eyes are fixed on the bun delicately balanced on the tip of an umbrella, its tiny teeth poised to take a bite. The historical context of this image transports us back to a time when the world was captivated by the exotic allure of the zoo experience. Zoo Aldin, located in Berlin, Germany, was one of Europe's most renowned zoos during the early 20th century. Founded in 1853, it was a place where visitors could marvel at a diverse array of animals from around the globe. The image of the tiger cub being fed with an umbrella is a testament to the unique methods used by keepers to care for and entertain their charges. The use of an umbrella as a feeding implement was not uncommon in zoos during this era. The umbrella's long handle provided a safe and effective means for keepers to present food to animals, particularly big cats, without putting themselves at risk. In this photograph, the umbrella not only serves as a practical tool but also adds an element of whimsy and charm to the scene. The cub's bagged surroundings suggest that this photograph was taken in the tiger enclosure, where visitors could observe the animals up close. The historical significance of this image lies not only in its depiction of a tender moment between keeper and cub but also in its ability to transport us back in time and provide a glimpse into the fascinating world of Zoo Aldin during the early 1900s.
