EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1923, Gladys Callow, a remarkable woman known for her unique connection with animals, is seen at the London Zoo, surrounded by a menagerie of wild creatures. The image, taken by an unidentified photographer, captures Gladys in her element, her warm and gentle demeanor evident as she interacts with the diverse array of animals. Gladys Callow, an Englishwoman of extraordinary compassion and devotion, dedicated her life to the care and welfare of animals, both wild and domestic. Her reputation as a "woman with a way with animals" preceded her, drawing crowds of curious onlookers whenever she visited zoos and animal sanctuaries. In this photograph, Gladys is seen at the London Zoo, a place that held a special place in her heart. She is pictured with a variety of animals, including a playful monkey, a regal lion, and a curious elephant. The animals seem to trust and respond to her presence, their eyes fixed on her with a sense of familiarity and comfort. The London Zoological Society, which oversaw the management of the London Zoo during this time, welcomed Gladys as a beloved visitor and advocate. Her presence at the zoo served as a reminder of the importance of compassion and understanding in the treatment of animals, a message that resonated with the public and continues to inspire us today. This photograph, taken nearly a century ago, is a testament to Gladys Callow's enduring legacy as a champion for animals and a reminder of the powerful bond that can exist between humans and the natural world.
