EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in October 1924, we are transported back in time to London Zoo where a keeper gently holds a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo named Jade. The bird's vibrant yellow plumage stands out against the dark background of its cage, creating a striking contrast that draws our attention. The keeper's careful grip showcases his expertise and deep connection with these magnificent creatures. His gentle touch reflects the trust between man and bird, as he ensures Jade feels safe within her confined space. Jade, with her majestic crest raised high, gazes directly at the camera with an intense yet curious expression. Her side profile allows us to admire every intricate detail of her features - from the elegant curve of her beak to the piercing gaze of her eyes. This historical image not only captures the beauty of this particular Sulphur Crested Cockatoo but also serves as a reminder of our shared history with animals in captivity. It offers us a glimpse into how zoos have evolved over time and highlights our ongoing fascination with exotic species. Frederick William Bond's skillful photography transports us back to an era when such encounters were rare and treasured. This timeless image is a testament to both human curiosity and our desire to preserve nature's wonders for generations to come.
