EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a walrus at the zoo, taken by an English photographer in the 20th century. The image is part of a private collection and was originally used as an illustration for "The Clever Animals Picture Book" published around 1945. In this snapshot from the mid-20th century, we witness the intriguing presence of this magnificent creature. The walrus stands out with its distinctive flippers and powerful physique, showcasing the unique wildlife found within zoos during that era. The photograph not only highlights the beauty of this animal but also raises questions about our attitudes towards exploitation in zoos during that time. It serves as a historical reminder of how animals were often viewed as objects to be exploited for human entertainment. With its odd yet intelligent appearance, this walrus challenges our perception of what is considered normal or expected. Its presence evokes a sense of wonder and curiosity among viewers, urging us to appreciate the diversity found in nature's creations. As we delve into history through images like these, we are reminded of both progress made and lessons learned regarding animal welfare. This photograph invites us to reflect on our relationship with wildlife and encourages us to continue striving for better understanding and respect towards all creatures that share our planet.
