EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1928, we witness an endearing moment between a young monkey and its keeper at the London Zoo. The image showcases the unique bond that can form between humans and animals, as the primate affectionately grooms the hair of keeper Flewin. The historical significance of this snapshot is evident, transporting us back to a time when zoos were not only places for entertainment but also centers for scientific research and conservation. It serves as a reminder of our evolving relationship with wildlife and our responsibility towards their wellbeing. The composition captures both the full length view of the keeper and his rear view as he bends down to allow the monkey access to his hair. The intricate details in their interaction are beautifully highlighted by Frederick William Bond's expert photography skills. This particular species of monkey, known as macaque or cercopithecidae, belongs to the family of primates native to Asia. Its presence in London Zoo further emphasizes its role in educating visitors about different ecosystems around the world. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we cannot help but be moved by its simplicity yet profound message - that even amidst bustling city life, moments like these remind us of our interconnectedness with nature and how compassion transcends boundaries.
