EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable moment in history at the London Zoo in 1925. In the image, we see Indiarani, a majestic female Asian elephant, using her powerful trunk to move timber while her keeper sits on her back, directing her movements. The bond between these two is evident as they work together harmoniously. Indiarani was gifted to the zoo by H. H Sir Jitendra Narayan, the 23rd Maharaja of Cooch Behar on July 16th, 1920. This historical context adds depth to the image and highlights the significance of this magnificent creature's presence at the zoo. The sheer size and strength of Indiarani are awe-inspiring as she effortlessly maneuvers the timber with precision. Her trunk serves as both a tool and an extension of herself, showcasing nature's incredible design. The enclosure provides a glimpse into an era when zoos were not only places for entertainment but also centers for education and conservation efforts. It is fascinating to witness how humans interacted with animals during this time period. Frederick William Bond skillfully captured this moment through his lens, immortalizing Indiarani's grace and power forever. This photograph serves as a testament to our fascination with wildlife and reminds us of our responsibility towards their preservation. Overall, this print offers viewers an extraordinary glimpse into history while celebrating the beauty and intelligence of one remarkable female Asian elephant named Indiarani.
