EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a heartwarming moment between African Elephant, Johnny, and his devoted keeper, Charles Eyles at London Zoo in April 1914. The image, taken by Frederick William Bond, showcases the deep bond that existed between these two remarkable beings. Johnny's story is one of resilience and companionship. Purchased by the zoo on May 21st, 1901, he became an integral part of London Zoo until his passing on February 4th, 1915. Throughout his time there, Johnny formed a special connection with Charles Eyles - a relationship that is beautifully depicted in this snapshot. In this image frozen in time, we witness the tenderness shared between man and elephant. Charles stands beside Johnny with an air of affectionate pride while the gentle giant gazes back at him with trust and loyalty. Their connection transcends species boundaries as they stand united against the backdrop of nature's wonders. The photograph not only celebrates their unique friendship but also highlights the importance of zoos as spaces for education and conservation efforts. It serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect these magnificent creatures who grace our planet. Frederick William Bond's skillful photography immortalizes this touching moment forevermore – reminding us all of the profound connections that can be forged between humans and animals when kindness prevails.
