EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a heartwarming moment between a young boy and a calf at the children's zoo in Battersea Park, London, during the 1960s. Dressed in a duffle coat to keep warm against the chill, the little boy reaches out to touch the soft nose of the curious calf, who gazes back at him with gentle interest. The wire fence between them is momentarily forgotten as the two connect in a shared moment of wonder and fascination. Battersea Park, located on the south bank of the River Thames, has a rich history dating back to the 1850s. The children's zoo, which opened in 1859, was a popular attraction for families, offering a chance to get up close and personal with a variety of animals. The 1960s saw a surge in interest in animals and conservation, and the zoo became an important educational resource for children. The image of the little boy and the calf is a poignant reminder of the simple joys of childhood and the enduring connection between humans and animals. It also offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life moved more slowly and the wonders of the natural world were a source of endless fascination for young and old alike.
