EDITORS COMMENTS
A glimpse into the past: A print captures a unique sight at the zoo in 1924. In this image, we see a new addition to the park - a model Dutch garden where tortoises take leisurely strolls on sunny days. The reptile house stands proudly in the background, creating an intriguing contrast between nature and man-made structures. The photograph showcases the beauty of simplicity as it transports us to an era when zoos were evolving their exhibits. The keeper, dressed in typical 1920s attire, watches over these slow-moving creatures with care and dedication. Lush palm trees surround the garden, adding a touch of exoticism to this European setting. This monochrome snapshot is not just about animals; it represents an era when humans sought to create harmonious spaces for both wildlife and visitors alike. It reminds us that even back then, people recognized the importance of providing enriching environments for captive animals. Preserved by Central News, this piece from Europeana Photography allows us to appreciate how zoological gardens have transformed throughout history. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are reminded of our responsibility towards animal welfare and conservation efforts today.
