Gerald Durrell was a British naturalist, zookeeper, conservationist, author and television presenter. He founded what are now called the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust and the Durrell Wildlife Park on the Channel Island of Jersey in 1959.
Mrs Durrell said " It was thrilling going on safari in the jungle and having looked after the animals ever since I have grown quite fond of them. But they don t leave me much time for housework I m afraid"

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the renowned British naturalist, Gerald Durrell, and his wife Jacqueline Durrell alongside their beloved pet chimpanzee named Cholmondley. The image showcases a heartwarming bond between humans and animals as they pose together on what appears to be a cozy bed surrounded by books. Gerald Durrell was not only a zookeeper but also an accomplished conservationist, author, and television presenter. In 1959, he established both the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust and the Durrell Wildlife Park on the picturesque Channel Island of Jersey. His dedication to wildlife preservation is evident in this snapshot. Mrs. Jacqueline Durrell shares her excitement about their jungle safari adventures, expressing how caring for these creatures has made her grow fond of them over time. However, she humorously admits that tending to these animals leaves little room for household chores. Taken on July 19th in 1957 during the vibrant era of the 1950s, this photograph transports us back to a time when wildlife conservation was gaining momentum worldwide. It serves as a testament to Gerald and Jacqueline's commitment towards protecting endangered species. Preserved by Mirrorpix and now available through Memory Lane Prints, this image offers an intimate glimpse into the lives of two passionate individuals who dedicated themselves to preserving our planet's precious biodiversity.
