EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print captures a peculiar scene that suggests the long-awaited capture of the mythical sea serpent. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes evident that the supposed monster is nothing more than a disgruntled camel vehemently resisting its seasonal bath in the Suez Canal. Known for their unsociable nature, camels are not easily swayed by human demands, and this particular one is no exception. The sudden immersion into the canal has only intensified its temper, as it hisses and snarls at those attempting to carry out this unusual job. Fully aware of the potential danger posed by such an enraged animal, strong ropes have been employed to restrain it during bath time. The photograph transports us back to 14 April 1937 when this comical incident took place. In black and white monochrome tones characteristic of that era, it exudes a sense of humor and light-heartedness amidst the tensions between two world wars. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are reminded of how even animals can surprise us with their unique personalities and reactions. This amusing image serves as a reminder that sometimes reality can be just as captivating as myth or legend.
