EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in a timeless photograph, the majestic presence of young African elephant Kiberenge resonates through the lens. Taken at London Zoo in August 1925, this image showcases the bond between man and beast during an era when exotic animals were marvels to behold. Kiberenge, born in February 1922, was a gift from H. E. Sir Horace Byatt to London Zoo on September 14th, 1923. His arrival marked a significant moment for both the zoo and its visitors as they marveled at his youthful energy and innate beauty. In this particular snapshot, Kiberenge raises his trunk high into the air while emitting a powerful call that reverberates throughout his enclosure. The profile view captures every detail of Kiberenge's magnificent headshot – from his expressive eyes to the intricate wrinkles etched across his forehead. The photograph serves as a testament to the importance of conservation efforts during that time period when capturing these incredible creatures for public display was still prevalent. Frederick William Bond skillfully immortalized this moment with expert precision, showcasing not only Kiberenge's captive existence but also highlighting our fascination with these gentle giants. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, it reminds us of our responsibility to protect and preserve these remarkable animals for future generations.
