EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in August 1928, showcases an intriguing comparison between the largest and smallest toad in the menagerie. Captured by Frederick William Bond, a renowned British photographer, this historical print offers a unique glimpse into the world of amphibians. The image features two distinct species of toads side by side for comparison. The massive Cane toad serves as a sturdy platform for the petite Natterjack toad perched on its back. This clever arrangement allows viewers to appreciate the stark contrast in size between these fascinating creatures. As we observe this pair, it becomes evident that nature's creations can vary greatly in scale. The giant Cane toad dominates the frame with its impressive full length while exuding an air of strength and resilience. In contrast, the diminutive Natterjack toad delicately balances itself atop its larger counterpart, showcasing its own charm and grace. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time when such curiosities were proudly displayed at zoological societies like London's Zoological Society of London. It is a testament not only to Bond's skillful photography but also highlights humanity's enduring fascination with wildlife. This black and white masterpiece serves as a reminder that even within our vast natural world, diversity exists not only among species but also within them – from giants like the Cane toad down to tiny marvels like the Natterjack.
