EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken at the London Zoo in 1924, we witness a heartwarming moment between man and primate. The image showcases a remarkable bond as a kind-hearted zookeeper carries Chimpanzee Sally on his back. The picture exudes an air of friendliness and trust, as the chimpanzee clings onto her caretaker with utmost comfort. Both figures are captured in full length, providing us with a glimpse into their unique relationship within the confines of the enclosure. This historical snapshot not only highlights the close connection between humans and primates but also serves as a testament to our shared evolutionary past. The side view angle allows us to appreciate Sally's features - her expressive eyes and intelligent demeanor. Frederick William Bond, the photographer behind this extraordinary shot, skillfully captures this intimate moment frozen in time. His expertise shines through as he masterfully uses light and shadow to create depth within the frame. As we gaze upon this intriguing photograph from nearly a century ago, we cannot help but be reminded of our interconnectedness with other species that inhabit our planet. It is an image that evokes both curiosity about our own origins and admiration for these incredible creatures who share so much in common with us.
