EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of curiosity and connection between a rhinoceros and a group of visitors at a French zoo, circa 1900. The majestic rhino, with its distinctive horn and powerful build, peers curiously over the railing, its large eyes fixed on the onlookers. The visitors, dressed in fashionable attire of the era, are mesmerized by the sight of this magnificent creature, some even leaning over the railing for a closer look. The old French zoo, where this scene unfolds, is a testament to the enduring fascination humans have with wildlife. The atmosphere is one of wonder and discovery, with the warm glow of a lantern casting an ethereal light on the scene. The new French zoo, which can be seen in the background, is a reminder of the evolution of zoological institutions and their role in conservation and education. This photograph is part of the Boswell collection, a valuable archive of lantern slides that offer a glimpse into the past. The image invites us to reflect on the relationship between humans and animals, and the role that zoos play in fostering a deeper appreciation for the natural world. The rhinoceros, a symbol of strength and resilience, serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving endangered species and their habitats for future generations to enjoy.
