EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph captures a fascinating scene from the 19th century, titled "Dressing Ponies for Protection against the Tsetse Fly". Taken by an English photographer, this print showcases a unique practice employed to safeguard horses from the notorious tsetse fly in Uganda. Intriguingly, several ponies are depicted wearing what appears to be protective clothing - horse cloths specifically designed to shield them from these blood-sucking insects. The image provides a glimpse into the ingenuity of humans in finding solutions to protect their valuable animals. Amongst the array of animals present, one can spot racehorses, shire horses, and stallions. This diverse gathering highlights how this issue affected various breeds and types of horses during that era. The photograph not only serves as documentation but also offers insight into wildlife conservation efforts at the time. It sheds light on how humans recognized and addressed threats posed by specific species like the tsetse fly. Preserved within a private collection, this image was originally published in The Illustrated London News on April 23rd, 1898. Its historical significance is further enhanced by its inclusion in Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection. Through this photograph's lens, we gain appreciation for both human innovation and our enduring relationship with animals – showcasing our determination to protect them even against seemingly insurmountable challenges like insect-borne diseases.
