EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1900, showcases two large Brahmin Bulls standing proudly against the fence at a French zoo. The image is part of the extensive Boswell collection, which documents both old and new French zoos. The Bulls, with their powerful builds and distinctive hump, are a sight to behold. One bull is a rich, deep brown color, while the other is a lighter shade, adding visual interest to the scene. The Bulls' intense gazes suggest their wild and untamed nature, a stark contrast to their captive environment. The fence separating them from the onlookers serves as a reminder of the boundary between the human world and the natural one. The lantern in the background adds an intriguing element, hinting at the passage of time and the changing of the day. The French zoo, a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, provided an opportunity for people to observe exotic animals up close. The collection and exhibition of animals from around the world was a symbol of national pride and scientific curiosity during this era. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the world seemed a little more magical and mysterious. The Boswell collection, with its wealth of images, offers a unique perspective on the history of zoos and the way animals were perceived and treated during this period. This photograph, in particular, is a testament to the enduring fascination with these magnificent creatures and the role they play in shaping our understanding of the natural world.
