EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic presence of a Brahmin Bull as it stands proudly by the fence of its enclosure at the zoo. Circa 1900, this image is part of the Boswell Collection, Box 175, which showcases the rich history of zoological exhibitions and animal conservation efforts during the early 20th century. The Brahmin Bull, also known as the Indian Bos indicus, is a large breed of cattle native to the Indian subcontinent. Known for their distinctive hump on the shoulders, these animals are an iconic symbol of strength and power. In this photograph, the bull's hump is accentuated by its posture, as it gazes intently at the visitors beyond the fence. The lantern hanging on the fence adds an intriguing element to the scene, casting an ethereal glow over the bull and creating a sense of mystery and intrigue. The use of natural light and the clear focus on the subject make this photograph a stunning example of early photographic techniques. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to the turn of the century when zoo visits were a popular form of entertainment and education. It also serves as a reminder of the important role that zoos play in the preservation of endangered species and the promotion of cross-cultural understanding and appreciation for the natural world.
