EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1929 at the London Zoo, we see a second-class keeper adorned with a uniform hat and jacket. However, what truly steals the spotlight are the four young grey squirrels adorably climbing all over his attire. The image captures a unique moment of harmony between man and nature, showcasing the bond that can exist even between humans and wild animals. The keeper's calm demeanor suggests years of experience handling these playful creatures, as he allows them to explore their curious surroundings. As we observe from the side view, each squirrel displays its own distinct personality - one confidently perched on top of his hat while another clings onto his jacket sleeve. Their tiny paws delicately grip onto every available surface as they navigate their way around their human companion. This historical photograph not only highlights the beauty of these small mammals but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards wildlife conservation. It reminds us that even in bustling cities like London, there is room for coexistence between humans and nature. With its timeless charm and endearing subject matter, this print would make an excellent addition to any art collection or serve as a heartwarming conversation starter when displayed in your home or office space.
