EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a tender moment between Female Indian Elephant Suffa Culli, also known as The Black Rose, and her devoted keeper Charles Eyles at the London Zoo in April 1914. As Suffa Culli gracefully lies down, Charles stands by her side, showcasing their deep bond and mutual trust. Suffa Culli was an extraordinary creature who had been gifted to the zoo by H. R. H. the Prince of Wales in July 1876. She spent over four decades at the London Zoo before her passing in December 1917. This image serves as a timeless tribute to her remarkable life. The photo beautifully portrays the majestic presence of this Asian elephant, with its full-length view capturing every intricate detail of her magnificent physique. Despite being held captive, Suffa Culli exudes a sense of tranquility and grace that is truly awe-inspiring. Photographer Frederick William Bond skillfully captures this intimate moment between man and beast, highlighting both their individuality and interconnectedness within the animal kingdom. The historical significance of this image adds depth to its already profound beauty. This stunning print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only the artistic value but also the historical importance of documenting these incredible creatures that have graced our world for centuries. It serves as a poignant reminder of our responsibility to protect and cherish all living beings on our planet.
