EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia photograph, taken circa 1900, captures a moment at a French zoo where a gnu, a large antelope native to Africa, turns its head curiously to look directly at the camera. The image is part of the Boswell collection, Box 209, which documents both old and new French zoos. The gnu's expression suggests a sense of awareness and intelligence, making for a captivating and intimate portrait. The sepia tone adds an air of nostalgia and authenticity, transporting us back in time to an era when visiting the zoo was a novel and exciting experience. The gnu's surroundings are not clearly visible in the photograph, but the absence of modern distractions allows us to focus solely on the animal and the connection between it and the photographer. This slide, number 35, offers a glimpse into the past and the wonders of the natural world that continue to fascinate us today.
