EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a South African Springhare, also known as Cape Jumping Hare, in its natural habitat at the London Zoo in December 1925. The image showcases the beauty and grace of this nocturnal creature as it sits peacefully under a branch within its enclosure. The South African Springhare is depicted in full length, allowing us to appreciate its unique features. Its side view reveals intricate details such as its long ears, slender body, and powerful hind legs that enable it to jump with agility. This historical snapshot provides a glimpse into the diversity of animal life found within the walls of one of London's most renowned zoological institutions. Photographer Frederick William Bond skillfully captured this moment frozen in time for all to admire. The monochromatic tones add depth and texture to the image while emphasizing the hare's natural elegance. As we observe this remarkable rodent-like mammal through Bond's lens, we are reminded of nature's wonders and our responsibility to protect these precious creatures. This photograph serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic expression, showcasing how photography can bridge gaps between disciplines.
