Joan the Hippopotamus at London Zoo, Yawning (1932): A Glimpse into the Pre-War Era This photograph, taken in 1932, captures the moment Joan the hippopotamus, a beloved resident of London Zoo, yawns, revealing her massive mouth and distinctive tusks. The image, now a vintage treasure, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1930s, a time before the Second World War. The photograph, published in various newspapers of the era, showcases Joan in her natural habitat, surrounded by water, her massive body partially submerged. Her large, expressive eyes are closed, and her mouth is agape, displaying her impressive set of teeth. The image is a testament to the power and majesty of this ancient creature, which continues to fascinate and captivate audiences to this day. The photograph is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and historical significance of London Zoo, which has been a popular tourist destination and a center of scientific research since its establishment in 1828. The zoo's collection of exotic animals, including Joan the hippopotamus, was a source of wonder and fascination for the public, particularly during the pre-war era. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the traditional role of the press in documenting and sharing important moments in history. The image was published in newspapers across the country, allowing people who could not visit the zoo in person to experience the wonder of Joan the hippopotamus from the comfort of their own homes. Today, this photograph is a valuable historical artifact, a reminder of a time when the world was a little smaller, and the wonders of the natural world were a source of endless fascination and inspiration. The image continues to captivate audiences, reminding us of the importance of preserving our cultural and historical heritage for future generations.
