EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a rare moment in the history of London Zoo. In July 1922, Frederick William Bond, an acclaimed photographer, immortalized an albino Old World Monkey from the genus Ceropithecus being held by a man at the zoo. The image showcases the delicate hands of the man cradling this extraordinary primate specimen. The monkey's unique appearance is striking against its surroundings, with its pale fur contrasting against dark branches and foliage. Its piercing eyes seem to hold a sense of curiosity and vulnerability as it gazes into the camera lens. This photograph not only highlights the beauty of nature but also sheds light on our fascination with exotic creatures during that era. It serves as a testament to humanity's desire to understand and appreciate wildlife through zoological collections like London Zoo. As we delve into this snapshot from nearly a century ago, we are reminded of how far our understanding of primates has come since then. Today, we recognize their intelligence, social structures, and importance in maintaining ecological balance. Intriguingly captured by Bond's lens, this image stands as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical record—a window into early 20th-century natural history exploration that continues to captivate us today.
