EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in June 1924, we see two myna birds perched delicately on the hands of their devoted keeper, Thomas Raggett. The image captures a tender moment between man and nature at the iconic London Zoo. Thomas Raggett stands proudly in his uniform, embodying the dedication and passion required to care for these beautiful creatures. His gentle touch creates a sense of trust as he cradles the myna birds with utmost care. These intelligent animals seem at ease in his presence, showcasing an extraordinary bond formed through years of nurturing. The common hill mynas, known for their melodious calls and striking plumage, are showcased against a backdrop of lush greenery. Their vibrant feathers contrast beautifully with Raggett's uniform, creating a harmonious composition that celebrates both wildlife and human connection. This vintage photograph not only serves as a testament to the timeless allure of nature but also pays homage to those unsung heroes who dedicate their lives to preserving it. Through Frederick William Bond's lens, we are transported back in time to witness this intimate interaction between man and bird - an enduring reminder of our interconnectedness with the animal kingdom. As we admire this remarkable snapshot frozen in history, let us be inspired by Thomas Raggett's unwavering commitment towards safeguarding our natural world - reminding us all that every creature deserves our love and protection.
