EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Frederick William Bond in January 1925 at the London Zoo, showcases an endearing moment between an adult and young Gelada or Bleeding Heart monkey. The mid-shot composition allows us to witness the intricate details of these fascinating primates. The adult Gelada stands tall, facing towards the camera with a sense of pride and wisdom in its eyes. Its thick fur coat adds to its majestic presence, while its distinctive heart-shaped patch on the chest gives it its unique name. Beside it, a young Gelada clings onto its parent's side, seeking comfort and protection within their close-knit family unit. The historical significance of this image is evident as it transports us back almost a century ago when visitors marveled at exotic creatures from far-off lands. This particular species hails from Ethiopia and belongs to the Old World monkeys group known as Cercopithecidae. Within their enclosure at London Zoo, this primate pair represents not only a remarkable display of nature's beauty but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect endangered species like them. Their bond exemplifies the importance of family ties among animals just as much as humans. Preserved through time, this monochromatic photograph captures both the innocence and complexity found within our animal kingdom. It invites us to appreciate these magnificent creatures that share our planet while igniting curiosity about their lives in distant habitats.
