EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1923, we witness a remarkable moment between Eliza, a majestic black rhinoceros, and her devoted keeper at the London Zoo. As Eliza arrives at her new home, she graciously accepts food from the outstretched hand of her caretaker. The image beautifully captures the historical significance of this event, transporting us back to a time when wildlife conservation was just beginning to gain traction. With its mid-shot composition, we are able to appreciate both the immense size and gentle nature of this magnificent African creature. Eliza's arrival symbolizes not only an important addition to the London Zoo but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards protecting endangered species. The black rhinoceros is one such example - their numbers dwindling due to poaching and habitat loss. Through Frederick William Bond's expert photography skills, we are granted a glimpse into this intimate interaction between human and animal. The side view perspective allows us to marvel at Eliza's distinctive horn while emphasizing her vulnerability within the confines of her crate. This timeless photograph serves as both a historical document and an artistic testament to our fascination with these incredible hoofed mammals. It reminds us that every individual effort counts in preserving Earth's biodiversity for future generations – ensuring that creatures like Eliza continue to inspire awe for years to come.
