EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print captured by Gerry Crowther, we witness a truly extraordinary moment at Queens Park Hospital in Blackburn, Lancs. Three-year-old Juanita Jahn, daughter of the renowned elephant trainer Harry Jahn from Billy Smarts Circus, decided to pay a special visit to the place where she was born three years ago. And who did she bring along? None other than Gilda, one of her daddy's gentle giants. As patients and staff gathered around with awe and amusement, an unexpected bond formed between a patient and Gilda. In this snapshot frozen in time from May 1965, we see the patient extending a piece of bread towards Gilda's trunk as if sharing an intimate conversation through their eyes. This photograph captures not only the innocence and curiosity of young Juanita but also highlights the power that animals possess to heal hearts and uplift spirits. The unusual sight of an elephant roaming hospital corridors brings joy and laughter amidst what can often be somber surroundings. Gerry Crowther's lens immortalizes this unique encounter between man and beast; it reminds us that sometimes life surprises us with moments that are both humorous and touching. This image serves as a reminder that even in unlikely places like hospitals, love knows no boundaries - whether it comes from human connections or unexpected animal friendships.
