EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a serene moment in the paddock outside the Giraffe House at London Zoo in 1928. A young female giraffe gracefully stands before a majestic tree, her slender figure towering above the surrounding landscape. The image showcases the beauty and elegance of this magnificent creature. Intriguing details can be observed within the frame: a height rule on the wall behind, serving as a reminder of just how tall these creatures can grow; high arched doorways leading into the Giraffe House, an architectural gem designed by Decimus Burton in 1836-7. This historical structure has been listed as Grade II. The photographer, Frederick William Bond, skillfully captures every intricate detail with his camera lens. The composition allows us to appreciate both the giraffe's full length and its side view simultaneously. We are reminded of their unique characteristics - long necks, distinctive spots, and powerful hooves - all traits that make them fascinating members of the giraffidae family. This photograph is not only a testament to Bond's talent but also serves as a valuable historical document for future generations to admire. It reminds us of our connection with nature and highlights our responsibility to protect these incredible animals for years to come.
