EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in January 1926 at London Zoo, we are transported back in time to witness the majestic presence of a bull Elk/Moose. Standing tall and solitary within his paddock, the magnificent creature reaches down towards the lush grass beneath him. The image, captured by Frederick William Bond, showcases the raw beauty of this hoofed mammal. As our gaze is drawn to the animal's powerful frame and impressive antlers, we cannot help but notice the wounds left behind from recently shedding its antlers. These scars tell a story of strength and resilience, reminding us of nature's cycles and constant renewal. The enclosure provides a glimpse into the life of this extraordinary creature as it indulges in its mealtime ritual. With a side view perspective, we can appreciate every detail - from its expressive eyes to each strand of grass being delicately consumed. This historical photograph not only captures an intimate moment between man and beast but also serves as a testament to London Zoo's commitment to preserving wildlife for generations to come. It invites us to reflect on our connection with nature and reminds us of the importance of protecting these magnificent creatures that grace our planet.
