EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1950s, capturing a heartwarming moment between Jacqueline Durrell and her beloved pet chimp. The image showcases the deep bond shared between humans and animals, reminding us of the incredible connection that can exist across species. In this snapshot, we see Jacqueline Durrell, wife of renowned British naturalist Gerald Durrell, cradling her furry companion with tender affection. Gerald himself was a multifaceted individual - a zookeeper, conservationist, author, and television presenter who left an indelible mark on wildlife preservation. The legacy of Gerald's passion for protecting endangered species lives on through his founding of the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust and the establishment of the Durrell Wildlife Park on Jersey Island in 1959. These institutions continue to play vital roles in safeguarding biodiversity today. Taken on February 21st in 1958 by Daily Mirror photographer Cholmondley, this photograph captures not only a personal moment but also represents a significant era in animal welfare history.
