More Please: A Rhinoceros at London Zoo, Circa 1910" This photograph captures the moment of curiosity and fascination as a crowd gathers at the London Zoo, Regent's Park, to witness the majestic rhinoceros. Dating back to circa 1910, this image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the awe and wonder that these magnificent creatures inspired in visitors. The rhinoceros, a large, powerful mammal with a distinctive horn on its snout, was a popular attraction at the zoo. In this photograph, the animal can be seen standing behind a railing, its massive body filling the enclosure. The horn, a prized possession for many cultures, had been removed, likely due to the high demand for it in the commercial market. The horn, now displayed separately in a glass case, is visible in the lower left corner of the image. The zoo's enclosure, designed to keep the rhinoceros safe and contained, is adorned with sawed-off railings, a testament to the animal's immense strength. The crowd, dressed in fashionable attire of the early 20th century, looks on with a mix of excitement and trepidation, as they observe the impressive creature. This photograph not only serves as a reminder of the captivating allure of the natural world but also highlights the complex relationship between humans and animals. It invites us to reflect on the past and consider the ethical implications of human interaction with these magnificent creatures. In summary, "More Please: A Rhinoceros at London Zoo, Circa 1910" is a captivating image that transports us back in time, allowing us to experience the wonder and curiosity of a bygone era while raising important questions about our relationship with the natural world.
