Study in disdain. Little Gillian Denman, of Pulborough, Sussex, made her first visit
Study in disdain.
Little Gillian Denman, of Pulborough, Sussex, made her first visit to the London Zoo at the age of two, and wanted badly to take Peggy, the camel for its first walk of the season. Peggy succumbed to Gillians appeal, but as they set off, there was no doubt that she isn t used to this sort of thing.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this timeless black and white portrait, we see little Gillian Denman of Pulborough, Sussex, embarking on her first visit to the London Zoo at just two years old. Filled with an undeniable determination, Gillian's eyes are fixed on Peggy the camel as she persuades her for a walk during the start of the season. The photograph perfectly captures Gillian's study in disdain as she takes charge of leading Peggy through the zoo grounds. The year is 1947, a time when monochrome photography was prevalent and this image stands as a testament to that era. It encapsulates the essence of childhood innocence and curiosity while also showcasing a unique bond between human and animal. Gillian's irresistible appeal manages to convince Peggy to accompany her on this adventure; however, it becomes evident that camels aren't accustomed to such outings. With every step they take together, there is an air of uncertainty surrounding Peggy's demeanor. This print from TopFoto. co. uk transports us back in time, allowing us to witness this extraordinary moment frozen forever. It serves as a reminder of simpler times and highlights the beauty found within unexpected connections between humans and animals.
