EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the enchanting world of London Zoo in August 1928. In this mesmerizing image, we are introduced to a majestic creature that has traveled all the way from China, Asia, or Thailand - a Green Water Dragon. The dragon's emerald scales glisten under the sunlight as it gracefully perches on a branch, its serpentine body coiled with elegance. With a mid-shot perspective, we can appreciate every intricate detail of this mythical-looking reptile. Its piercing gaze reveals an ancient wisdom and an air of mystery. As one of the many fascinating species housed at London Zoo during that time, this Chinese/Asian/Thai water dragon stands out for its unique beauty and exotic origins. The photographer Frederick William Bond skillfully captures the essence of this magnificent creature through his lens. This historical snapshot not only showcases the incredible diversity found within our natural world but also serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with these awe-inspiring creatures. It is photographs like these that allow us to connect with nature's wonders even decades later. Through Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we have been granted access to relive moments like these captured by talented photographers such as Bond. This particular print is a testament to both artistic excellence and scientific exploration – reminding us why zoos play such an important role in our society: fostering appreciation for wildlife while preserving their legacy for future generations to admire and learn from.
