EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1928, we are transported back in time to the London Zoo's Monkey Hill. The image captures a group of dedicated keepers carefully unpacking Sacred Baboons amidst the rugged rocks of their enclosure. The scene is filled with an air of anticipation as these wooden crates hold within them precious creatures from distant lands. The keepers, dressed in traditional attire, handle each crate with utmost care and reverence for these majestic primates. The Sacred Baboon, known for its striking appearance and religious significance in ancient Egypt, holds a special place within the hearts of both the keepers and visitors alike. With their expressive eyes and regal presence, these baboons have captured our fascination throughout history. As we gaze upon this historical moment frozen in time, we can almost feel the excitement that must have filled the air on that day at Monkey Hill. It serves as a reminder of our deep connection to nature and our responsibility as caretakers of these magnificent creatures. This remarkable photograph by Frederick William Bond allows us to glimpse into a bygone era when zoos were not only places of entertainment but also centers for education and conservation. It reminds us that every animal has its own story to tell – one that deserves our respect and protection. Through this image, we are reminded of the importance of preserving wildlife habitats and ensuring the well-being of all living beings who share our planet.
