EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1931 by Frederick William Bond, transports us back in time to the iconic Monkey Hill at London Zoo. From the vantage point of the Mappin Terraces, we are granted a breathtaking view of this historical landmark. The image showcases a troop of primates, with their distinctive features and playful nature on full display. Among them is the sacred baboon, known for its revered status in ancient Egyptian culture. The group is seen from a side view, capturing their unique architecture as they perch upon the terraces. As we observe these magnificent creatures from behind, their rear view adds an element of intrigue and mystery to the scene. The composition allows us to appreciate both their individuality and collective presence within this bustling primate community. Bond's expert photography skills bring out every detail in this stunning print. The contrast between light and shadow creates a timeless aesthetic that further enhances our connection with this historical moment. With Monkey Hill as its backdrop, this photograph serves as a testament to London Zoo's rich history and commitment to conservation efforts. It reminds us of our shared kinship with these fascinating mammals while also highlighting the beauty found within architectural marvels like Mappin Terraces.
