EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a breathtaking moment at a French zoo from the early 1900s. A group of large elephants can be seen gathered together, their massive forms illuminated by the warm glow of a lantern slide projector. The elephants, with their expressive eyes and intricately textured skin, exude a sense of wisdom and tranquility. The lush greenery and open enclosures of the zoo provide a natural backdrop, allowing the animals to roam freely and interact with one another. The Old and New French Zoo collection, from which this photograph is taken, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of animal preservation and exhibition. The collection, comprised of lantern slides, documents the evolution of French zoos from the late 19th to the early 20th century. The images showcase the various species housed in these institutions, as well as the living conditions and care provided to them. The elephants in this photograph are a testament to the enduring fascination humans have with these magnificent creatures. Their presence in the zoo would have been an awe-inspiring experience for visitors, who would have marveled at their size, grace, and intelligence. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history of animal conservation and the important role zoos play in educating the public about the natural world.
