EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a truly unique sight from June 1914. It showcases an extraordinary Mazawattee Tea Cart, being pulled by a team of zebras, stationed outside the Zoological Society of London's Regents Park offices. This peculiar advertising device was one of the early promotional tools employed by ZSL London Zoo. In this snapshot, we see keeper Charles Eyles wearing a peaked cap, standing beside the eye-catching cart. The image offers a glimpse into the world of wildlife marketing during that era. The combination of these majestic striped creatures with the tea cart creates an intriguing juxtaposition between nature and commerce. The photo transports us back in time to witness this bizarre spectacle on the streets of London. The presence of zebras pulling a vehicle through busy city streets must have been quite an unusual sight for passersby. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time, it sparks our curiosity about how such unconventional methods were used to promote zoos and products like Mazawattee Tea at that time. This photograph serves as both a testament to human creativity and ingenuity when it comes to capturing public attention and as a reminder of how far advertising techniques have evolved over the years. Overall, this image is not only visually striking but also provides valuable insights into early 20th-century marketing strategies within the context of natural history and animal conservation efforts undertaken by institutions like ZSL London Zoo.
