EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a heartwarming moment between a baby Indian elephant and an adult female named Assam Lukhi at the London Zoo in September 1923. The image showcases keeper Charles Eyles carefully trimming Lukhi's feet, demonstrating the dedication to foot care for these majestic creatures. Lukhi, who was gifted to the zoo by H. H. The Maharajah of Benares in June of that year, stands alongside her keeper with trust and affection. The pair is seen in their enclosure, highlighting the historical significance of this snapshot. The adorable baby elephant steals the spotlight with its cuteness as it gazes curiously at the camera. This endearing sight reminds us of the innocence and charm found within nature's creations. The photo not only portrays a tender interaction but also provides insight into early 20th-century zoological practices. It serves as a testament to our ongoing fascination with wild animals and our commitment to their well-being even within captivity. Frederick William Bond skillfully captured this moment, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. As we admire this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of both the beauty and responsibility associated with caring for these incredible creatures.
