EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 20th century, specifically to London Zoo in 1913. The image showcases a delightful scene of a Bactrian Camel ride, with three small boys enjoying an unforgettable experience. In the photograph, we see a keeper confidently leading the majestic camel while the young boys gleefully take their places on its back. One adventurous boy fearlessly sits astride the camel's neck, displaying his courage and excitement. Meanwhile, two other boys find themselves nestled comfortably between the humps of this magnificent creature. The composition beautifully captures not only the joyous expressions on each child's face but also highlights the close bond between humans and animals. It is evident that these children are having an enchanting encounter with nature as they embark on this unique adventure at London Zoo. The image offers a glimpse into history, showcasing how zoos have long been spaces for both education and entertainment. This particular moment frozen in time reminds us of our fascination with wildlife and our desire to connect with it firsthand. Thanks to Frederick William Bond's skillful photography, we can still appreciate this charming snapshot over a century later. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring curiosity about nature and our ongoing efforts to preserve it for future generations.
