EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Frederick William Bond in August 1927, transports us to the Mappin Terraces at London Zoo. The image showcases a tender moment between a Barbary sheep, also known as Aoudad or Waddan, and her adorable lamb. The mother sheep stands gracefully on the terraces while she lovingly feeds her young one. Their full-length profiles highlight their elegant figures and intricate horns that are characteristic of this species. As we observe them from the side view, we can appreciate their unique features and the bond they share. The historical significance of this photo adds another layer of interest to its visual appeal. It offers us a glimpse into London Zoo's past, reminding us of its long-standing commitment to conservation and education about wildlife. Barbary sheep are classified as vulnerable today due to habitat loss and hunting pressures in their native North Africa. This image serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect these beautiful creatures for future generations. Frederick William Bond's skillful photography captures not only the physical beauty but also the emotional connection between this mother sheep and her lamb. Through his lens, he invites us into their world for just a moment, allowing us to witness this heartwarming scene unfold on the Mappin Terraces at London Zoo.
