EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from the 1920s or 1930s showcases a guard standing proudly outside the Serotherapeutic Institute in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. The institute is known for its groundbreaking research on serotherapy, focusing specifically on poisonous cobras and snakes found in the region. In this historical image, we see a lone African man dressed in work overalls, representing the dedicated guards who ensured safety within the institute's premises. His intense gaze meets the camera lens as he stands amidst an outdoor backdrop of Southern African geography. The significance of this photo lies not only in its portrayal of a diligent worker but also in shedding light on the unique fauna that inhabit this part of Africa. As one examines this snapshot further, it becomes evident that it captures an important moment in time when research institutes like these were at their peak. Preserved by Marka Historical Archive and TCI Historical Archive, this remarkable photograph serves as a reminder of our shared history and highlights how humans have long been fascinated by animals' venomous nature. It invites us to reflect upon both scientific advancements made during that era and our ongoing efforts to understand and coexist with wildlife today
