EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by John Topham, we are transported back to the enchanting era of the 1930s. The image showcases a delightful scene in Foots Cray where elephants from the circus take a leisurely stroll with an adorable little girl on their backs. The innocence and joy radiating from the young girl's face is truly heartwarming as she confidently rides atop these majestic creatures. Her tiny hands hold onto their rough skin while her eyes sparkle with excitement, creating a beautiful contrast against the monochrome backdrop. The elephants themselves appear gentle and obedient, guided by their skilled trainer who holds a whip in his hand. It is evident that they have formed a unique bond with both humans and each other, showcasing the remarkable intelligence and adaptability of these magnificent animals. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of simpler times when children found delight in such extraordinary encounters. The humor infused within this image can be seen through the juxtaposition of these massive creatures being ridden by such a small child - it almost feels like an amusing twist straight out of an animal cracker box. As we admire this vintage masterpiece, let us appreciate its ability to transport us into history; reminding us of our shared connection with nature and how moments like these can bring laughter and wonder into our lives.
