EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the Victorian era at London Zoo, where the wonders of the natural world were showcased for the fascinated public. In this photograph from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, an elephant and its keeper are seen in a serene moment, surrounded by the lush greenery of Regent's Park. The elephant, with its massive, wrinkled grey hide and long, curved tusks, is a testament to the power and majesty of nature. The keeper, dressed in Victorian attire, stands beside the elephant, a lantern in hand, ensuring the safety and wellbeing of this magnificent creature. The lantern, with its warm, golden light, adds an ethereal quality to the scene, casting intriguing shadows on the ground. This photograph, taken during the Edwardian period, offers a glimpse into the past, when London Zoo was a popular destination for visitors seeking adventure and knowledge. The early days of zoos were marked by a sense of curiosity and wonder, as people marveled at the exotic animals that were brought from far-off lands. The vintage aesthetic of this image, with its muted colors and soft focus, transports us to a bygone era, where the wonders of the natural world were a source of inspiration and fascination. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art, but also a historical document that captures a moment in time, when the connection between humans and animals was forged through curiosity and respect.
