EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history - the arrival of four baby elephants at the Royal Albert Dock on the S. S "Nalgora" from India. These adorable pachyderms, hailing from the Calcutta zoo, were bound for two prestigious destinations: three were destined to join the London zoo, while one was en route to Belfast. However, their journey was not without its challenges. As they were being unloaded from the ship, these mischievous little creatures caused quite a commotion. In fact, one of them proved so stubborn that a larger van had to be summoned just for him! Despite all this trouble, their antics brought smiles and laughter to those witnessing this unforgettable scene. Taken on 13th July 1937 during an era marked by political unrest and uncertainty between two world wars, this monochrome photograph encapsulates both innocence and humor amidst tumultuous times. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk as part of their extensive collection of Europeana photography and press archives, it serves as a delightful reminder of simpler joys found in our animal friends. So let your imagination run wild with these animal crackers! Transport yourself back to the thirties when life seemed less complicated and enjoy this timeless image that continues to bring joy even after decades have passed.
