EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the year 1927, where we find ourselves in the midst of London Zoo. The subject of this image is a magnificent Vulturine Guineafowl, proudly displaying its striking plumage for all to admire. Captured by Frederick William Bond, a renowned British photographer, this historical snapshot offers a glimpse into the world of avian beauty. The Zoological Society of London has preserved this timeless piece as part of their extensive collection. In this mid-shot composition, we are treated to a side view of the Vulturine Guineafowl. Its regal stature and elegant feathers command attention against the monochromatic backdrop. This member of the Numididae family stands out with its unique markings and distinctive blue face adorned with bright red wattles. As we delve deeper into this image, it becomes evident that every detail has been meticulously captured through Bond's lens. From the intricate patterns on its feathers to each individual strand adorning its head crest, nothing escapes our gaze. The Vulturine Guineafowl belongs to an ancient group known as galliformes and is native to East Africa. Its scientific name Acryllium vulturinum aptly describes its resemblance to vultures due to its long neck and sharp beak. This remarkable photograph serves as both a testament to nature's wonders and a tribute to Frederick William Bond's skillful artistry behind the camera lens. It invites us into an era gone by
