EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photograph captured by Frederick William Bond in August 1922, we witness a beautiful moment of compassion at the London Zoo. Keeper Harry Warwick is depicted bottle feeding a baby warthog, showcasing the nurturing side of humanity towards our animal counterparts. The image transports us back to the 1920s, a time when zoos were becoming increasingly popular as places for both entertainment and education. The young man's gentle expression reveals his genuine care and affection for the adorable piglet in his arms. It serves as a reminder that even in bustling cities like London, there are sanctuaries where humans can connect with nature. This snapshot epitomizes the bond between humans and animals, highlighting our innate desire to protect and nurture other species. As Warwick carefully cradles the tiny warthog while offering it sustenance from a bottle, we witness an act of kindness that transcends language barriers or cultural differences. The photograph captures not only an intimate moment but also provides valuable insight into early twentieth-century wildlife conservation efforts. It reminds us of the crucial role played by dedicated keepers like Harry Warwick who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to ensure these magnificent creatures thrived within their captive environments. Through this timeless image, we are reminded of our responsibility to care for all living beings on this planet – no matter how big or small they may be.
