EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in August 1928, we witness a rare sight at the London Zoo. A Komodo Dragon, known for its immense size and ferocity, is being held up onto its back legs by a brave keeper. The dragon's powerful limbs are stretched outwards as it balances precariously on its hind legs, showcasing both the strength and vulnerability of this magnificent creature. The reptile's scaly skin glistens under the sunlight, while its piercing eyes seem to convey a mix of curiosity and caution. This side view allows us to appreciate the sheer length of the dragon's body, emphasizing its intimidating presence. Its long tail coils gracefully behind it, adding an element of grace amidst all that power. This historical image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also highlights our fascination with these ancient creatures. The Komodo Dragon is one of nature's wonders - an apex predator that has roamed our planet for millions of years. As we gaze upon this photograph from Frederick William Bond's lens, we can't help but marvel at the bravery required to hold such a formidable beast upright. It serves as a reminder that even in captivity, these dragons command respect and awe from those who encounter them. This remarkable print offers us a glimpse into history while celebrating the beauty and majesty of one of Earth's most extraordinary creatures – the Komodo Dragon.
