EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by a German photographer in the early 20th century, transports us back to the enchanting world of Bern Zoo's Bear Garden. The postcard, sent on 19 June 1913, captures a moment frozen in time within the zoological gardens. The image reveals an intriguing scene bustling with visitors eagerly observing the majestic bears residing within their pit. As we gaze at this snapshot from history, we cannot help but feel a mix of awe and concern for these magnificent creatures. While it is undeniable that this photograph showcases the beauty and power of these animals, it also raises questions about humanity's treatment towards them during that era. The term "cruelty to animals" comes to mind as we reflect upon how they were confined within such limited spaces. Nevertheless, despite any reservations one may have regarding animal welfare practices at that time, there is no denying the historical significance captured in this image. It serves as a poignant reminder of our evolving relationship with wildlife and how far we have come since then. Preserved in private collection until now, this remarkable print has found its way into Fine Art Finder through Bridgeman Images. Its presence allows us not only to appreciate the artistry behind early photography but also invites us to contemplate our responsibility towards all living beings sharing our planet – past and present alike.
