EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back in time to London Zoo in 1924. The image captures a tender moment between a dedicated keeper and Freckles, a magnificent Black Crested or Congo Mangabey. The keeper's face is filled with affection as he cradles Freckles in his hands, showcasing the deep bond they share. His gentle touch conveys both care and respect for this remarkable primate species. With their expressive eyes locked together, it is evident that trust has been established between man and animal. Freckles, with its distinctive black crest atop its head, exudes an air of curiosity and intelligence. Its fur appears soft to the touch as it rests comfortably within the keeper's grasp. This close-up portrait allows us to appreciate every detail of Freckle's unique features. This historical photograph not only serves as a testament to the dedication of zookeepers but also highlights the importance of preserving our natural world through captive breeding programs like those conducted by London Zoo. It reminds us of our responsibility to protect these incredible creatures for future generations. Captured by Frederick William Bond, this timeless image stands as a reminder that even amidst bustling city life, there exists an oasis where humans can connect intimately with nature's wonders – such as Freckles – fostering compassion and understanding towards all living beings.
