EDITORS COMMENTS
This image graces the front cover of The Sketch magazine from 1926, showcasing the unusual bond between actress Gay Sheridan and her beloved pet seal, Flipper. The photograph, taken at Long Beach, California, reveals Gay in her stylish swimsuit, playfully leading her trained seal companion through the water. The 1920s, an era of innovation and unconventionality, is reflected in this striking scene. Gay Sheridan, a popular actress of the time, defied societal norms by owning and caring for a pet seal. Flipper, who was trained since a pup, seems to be at ease in the company of his human companion. The pair's connection is palpable, as they frolic in the waves, their laughter echoing through the sun-kissed California air. The actress's swimsuit, with its high waistline and full skirt, is a testament to the fashion trends of the 1920s. The swimwear of the era, often referred to as the "bathing costume," was designed to provide both functionality and modesty. Gay's swimsuit, while elegant and chic, also allowed her the freedom to enjoy the water with her pet seal. This photograph, a beautiful representation of an unusual friendship, is a reminder of the unique connections that can form between humans and animals. The image, brought to us by Illustrated London News Ltd and captured by the talented Mary Evans, stands as a testament to the enduring allure of the 1920s and the unforgettable stories it holds.
