EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured in December 1997, we witness the extraordinary bond between John Aspinall, renowned zoo owner and conservationist, and a majestic gorilla within the confines of Howletts Zoo. Known for his fearless approach to animal interaction, Aspinall firmly believed in immersing himself with all creatures under his care. The image portrays a moment frozen in time - an intimate connection between man and beast that transcends boundaries. With an air of mutual trust and respect, John Aspinall fearlessly enters the gorilla cage, defying conventional norms of human-animal relationships. The sheer awe on both their faces speaks volumes about the profound understanding they share. This photograph serves as a testament to Aspinall's unwavering dedication towards wildlife preservation.
