EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the bond between an adult female Indian Elephant named Assam Lukhi and her devoted keeper, Charles Eyles. Taken at London Zoo in September 1923, the image showcases a tender moment as Lukhi has her feet trimmed by Eyles. Lukhi was a gift to London Zoo from H. H. The Maharajah of Benares on June 15th, 1903. This historical snapshot provides a glimpse into the care and attention given to these majestic creatures during that era. In this picture, we see Eyles standing beside Lukhi, who stands tall with her side view displayed elegantly. The trust between them is evident as they engage in this routine foot maintenance process. It's heartwarming to witness their connection amidst captivity. The photo also highlights the adorable presence of Lukhi's baby elephant nearby, adding an extra touch of cuteness to the scene. As both mother and child are captive animals within the zoo environment, it serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards preserving wildlife. Frederick William Bond beautifully captured this moment through his lens for the Zoological Society of London. This remarkable piece transports us back to early 20th-century zoology while showcasing the dedication and love shared between humans and animals alike.
