EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and experience the wonder of the desert brought to you at the heart of a French zoo! In this photograph from circa 1900, a small girl joyfully rides atop a dromedary camel. The dromedary, also known as the Arabian or Indian camel (Camelus dromedarius), is a large, even-toed ungulate with a distinctive single hump on its back. First described by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, this magnificent creature was later classified by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. The dromedary, an iconic symbol of the desert, has long captured the imagination of people around the world. With its unique appearance and resilient nature, it is no wonder that it has been a subject of fascination for generations. In this charming image, the dromedary's majestic presence is on full display as it gracefully carries the young girl through the zoo grounds. This photograph is part of the Boswell collection, which showcases a rich and diverse array of animals from both old and new French zoos. The collection offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of animal conservation and the evolving role of zoos in education and entertainment. Whether you are an animal lover, a history buff, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the natural world, this image is sure to capture your imagination and transport you to another time and place.
