EDITORS COMMENTS
A Day at the Zoo: Feeding the Bears, 1927" - This photograph captures a moment in time as LA Govey extends her hand to feed a brown bear at the London Zoo, circa 1927. The black-and-white image transports us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the history of zoo visits and animal interactions. The London Zoo, established in 1828, has been a beloved destination for generations, providing visitors with the opportunity to observe and learn about exotic animals from around the world. In this photograph, we see LA Govey, dressed in a fashionable 1920s outfit, engaging with one of the zoo's most popular attractions - the majestic brown bear. The bear, with its powerful build and piercing eyes, appears curious and alert, as it sniffs and licks the food from LA Govey's hand. The image captures the delicate balance between human and animal, as well as the sense of wonder and excitement that comes with a day at the zoo. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of zoos and the role they play in connecting people with nature. It also serves as a reminder of the rich history of animal conservation and education, which continues to inspire and captivate us today. This image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable historical document that offers a unique insight into the past. It invites us to reflect on the evolution of our relationship with animals and the ways in which we have sought to learn from and protect them throughout history.
