EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on 2nd January 1920, we are transported back in time to witness a rare sight - the only gorilla held captive at the Olympia. The image exudes an air of mystery as it captures the solitary figure of this magnificent creature, surrounded by its confined environment. The monochrome tones add depth and texture to the photograph, emphasizing every detail of the gorilla's powerful physique. Its muscular arms rest against the bars that confine it, while its piercing gaze seems to penetrate through the lens and into our very souls. We cannot help but be drawn into its world, wondering about its thoughts and emotions. This extraordinary snapshot is a testament to both human curiosity and our fascination with nature's wonders. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in understanding these incredible creatures since that fateful day in 1920 when this gorilla was captured. Preserved by Central News' Europeana Photography collection, this historical gem offers us a glimpse into an era where capturing such moments was not just an art form but also a means for documentation. As we admire this photograph today, let us reflect on our responsibility towards protecting wildlife and ensuring their freedom in their natural habitats.
