EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time at the Mappin Terraces of London Zoo in September 1928. In the center of the frame, a majestic polar bear sits up on its hind legs, showcasing its immense size and strength. Its piercing gaze is fixed on something beyond our view, perhaps an observer or another animal within its enclosure. The bear's fur glistens under the sunlight, revealing intricate details and textures that are beautifully accentuated by the monochromatic tones of this vintage print. The photographer, Frederick William Bond, skillfully captures both the power and vulnerability inherent in this magnificent creature. Surrounded by stone terraces, which provide a stark contrast to its natural habitat, this polar bear stands as a symbol of resilience amidst captivity. It serves as a reminder of humanity's responsibility to protect and preserve these incredible animals for future generations. As we delve into this historical image from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to witness one small moment between man and beast. This photograph encapsulates not only the beauty of wildlife photography but also highlights our fascination with these awe-inspiring creatures that continue to captivate us even today.
