EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a nostalgic moment at the London Zoo in July 1936. The image showcases the popular attraction of elephant rides, which delighted visitors during that era. Four mahouts, identified as keepers J. Bailey, Cullen, Milbourn, and Jones, can be seen guiding the majestic Asian elephants through the zoo grounds. The photo exudes a sense of wonder and excitement as both children and adults eagerly line up for their turn to experience this unique adventure. The elephants stand tall with their impressive trunks raised high in the air, showcasing their gentle nature amidst the bustling crowds. This snapshot from the past offers a glimpse into a time when wildlife encounters were cherished by all who visited zoological parks. It reflects an era where natural history captivated people's imaginations and provided them with an opportunity to witness exotic creatures up close. Captured by Frederick William Bond (1887-1942) on behalf of the Zoological Society of London, this historic print is now part of British heritage. Its timeless appeal continues to evoke feelings of nostalgia while reminding us of our enduring fascination with these magnificent animals.
