EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to September 1923 at the London Zoo. The image captures a heartwarming moment between a young African elephant named Kiberenge and his keepers, particularly Darisha. As Kiberenge stands in his enclosure, facing the camera with curiosity in his eyes, Darisha gently offers him a drink from a bucket. Kiberenge had been gifted to the London Zoo by H. E. Sir Horace Byatt just days before this photo was taken. Born in February 1922, he was still considered a calf at the time of this snapshot. The bond between Kiberenge and his keepers is evident as they care for him within the confines of captivity. This historical photograph not only showcases the beauty and majesty of an African elephant but also provides us with insight into early 20th-century zoological practices. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with exotic animals during that era. The composition of this image is striking; it highlights both the size difference between Kiberenge and his keepers while capturing their tender interaction. Frederick William Bond's skillful photography allows us to appreciate every detail - from Kiberenge's powerful trunk reaching out for refreshment to Darisha's gentle presence. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of our responsibility towards these magnificent creatures who share our planet.
