EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful photograph taken at the London Zoo on 4 June 1937, we witness a comical moment between a giraffe and its keeper. Titled "Getting it in the neck" the image captures the giraffe's resigned submission as it allows its long neck to be brushed by the keeper using a long-handled broom. The scene exudes humor and showcases the unique bond between humans and animals. The giraffe's expression seems to convey both acceptance and amusement, as if acknowledging that this peculiar grooming technique is part of its daily routine. Meanwhile, the keeper appears focused yet gentle, ensuring that every inch of the majestic creature's neck receives proper attention. This photograph transports us back to an era between two world wars when life was simpler but filled with moments of joy like these. It serves as a reminder of how even amidst challenging times, laughter can still be found in unexpected places. Captured in monochrome, this image carries a timeless quality that adds to its charm. Its inclusion in Europeana Photography highlights its historical significance while also showcasing TopFoto. co. uk's vast collection of press photography from that era. "Getting it in the neck" is not just about capturing an amusing interaction; it symbolizes our ability to find joy even during difficult periods—a lesson we can all learn from our animal friends who remind us not to take life too seriously.
