EDITORS COMMENTS
Bath Time For Marjorie The Elephant: Straight between the eyes and loving it. That is Marjorie, a playful 7-year-old elephant at Chessington Zoo, captured in this delightful print from June 1970. As her dedicated keeper stands beside her, he mischievously aims a two-gallon bucket of water straight at Marjorie's face, creating a moment filled with joy and laughter. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the unique bond between humans and animals as Marjorie embraces the refreshing shower with open arms - or rather, an open trunk! Her eyes twinkle with delight as she revels in the coolness of the water splashing against her wrinkled skin. It's evident that bath time is not just about cleanliness for Marjorie; it's also an opportunity for playfulness and connection. This image captures the essence of grooming rituals among elephants – a necessary practice to maintain their hygiene and well-being. However, what truly sets this photograph apart is its ability to evoke humor through such a simple act. The sheer innocence on both Marjorie's face and her keeper’s expression brings smiles to our faces even decades later. As we gaze upon this charming scene from Chessington Zoo during the 1970s era, let us be reminded of how precious these moments are – when humans interact with nature’s magnificent creatures in ways that bring happiness to all involved.
