EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic presence of a Yak Bull at a French zoo, circa 1900. The Yak (Bos grunniens and Bos mutus), a long-haired bovid, is indigenous to the Himalayan region of South Central Asia, the Tibetan Plateau, and extends as far north as Mongolia and Russia. In this image, the Yak Bull's powerful build and impressive horns are on full display, showcasing the strength and resilience of this magnificent animal. The Yak, which is mostly domesticated, has been an essential source of food, transportation, and warmth for the people of the Himalayas for centuries. Their thick, insulating coat enables them to thrive in extreme temperatures, making them perfectly adapted to their mountainous habitat. The inclusion of this photograph in the Boswell collection, Old and New French Zoo, highlights the fascination and curiosity that the Western world held for exotic animals during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Zoos served as places of education, entertainment, and scientific research, allowing people to learn about and appreciate the natural world in a new way. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of the Yak, as well as the enduring allure of the animal kingdom. It invites us to reflect on the connections between humans and the natural world and the importance of preserving and protecting the diverse wildlife that inhabits our planet.
