EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Crowded Pool: She wanted some water and What do you think? A big hippopotamus Come down to drink. I think it should be- Ladies first. said she. Or I'm sure there will not be a drop left for me," transports us back in time to an era when the natural world and human interaction intertwined in the most unexpected ways. The image, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a historical snapshot of a crowded pool in Africa, where the tranquility of the water is disrupted by the presence of a massive hippopotamus. The ladies in the photograph, dressed in their elegant Victorian attire, are seen enjoying a leisurely afternoon by the poolside, oblivious to the imposing figure of the hippopotamus that has emerged from the water. The hippopotamus, a symbol of power and strength, seems to be contemplating whether to join the ladies for a drink or retreat back into the safety of the water. The caption playfully captures the moment of anticipation and the ladies' polite request for priority, adding a touch of humor to the scene. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the history of human-animal interaction, where people and wildlife coexisted in shared spaces, and the natural world was an integral part of daily life. The image also highlights the contrast between the elegance of the Victorian era and the raw power and presence of the hippopotamus, making for a fascinating visual narrative. Overall, this photograph is a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the natural world and the intriguing ways in which it intersects with human history.
