EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, taken by the renowned British portrait photographer Madame Yevonde in 1936, we find Miss Rosamond Broughton, the elegant and poised debutante daughter of Sir Delves and Lady Broughton, sharing a tender moment with her beloved pet, Miss Gibbs, a young Siamese gibbon. Rosamond's radiant smile and the gibbon's affectionate cling to her shoulder create an image of playful innocence and friendship that is both captivating and timeless. The Broughton family was known for their adventurous spirit and love for the natural world. Rosamond's mother, also a celebrated figure, was a renowned big game hunter, fisherwoman, and wildlife photographer. Her own pet monkey, Mr. Winks, can be seen in a color photograph (number 10643614) that beautifully complements this black-and-white image. The presence of exotic pets in the Broughton household was a reflection of their global travels and their deep appreciation for the wonders of the natural world. This photograph, with its charming subject matter and the rich history it represents, offers a glimpse into the lives of an extraordinary family and the unique bond they shared with their pets. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of the human-animal connection and the joy that pets bring into our lives.
