EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to the summer of 1926 at London Zoo. The image captures a tender moment between Female Asiatic Elephant Sundermalah and her dedicated keepers as they trim her majestic feet. Sundermalah stands gracefully on a sturdy stool, allowing her keepers to carefully tend to her needs. The mid-shot perspective allows us to witness the meticulous process up close, revealing the trust and bond shared between these gentle giants and their human caretakers. The historical significance of this snapshot is undeniable, showcasing the dedication of zoological professionals in ensuring the well-being of these magnificent creatures. As we observe from a side view, we can appreciate Sundermalah's immense size and strength while also recognizing her vulnerability in needing assistance with such an essential task. Frederick William Bond's masterful photography skillfully captures every detail - from the texture of Sundermalah's wrinkled skin to the focused expressions on both elephant and keeper alike. This mesmerizing image serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards preserving Earth's diverse wildlife. As we admire this extraordinary moment frozen in time, let us reflect on our role in protecting these incredible creatures for generations to come.
