EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the bustling John Aspinalls Howlett Zoo Park in Kent, during a holiday weekend in April 1976. The record-breaking crowds were drawn to this extraordinary zoo, and it's not hard to see why. In this heartwarming image, we witness an incredible bond between man and beast. John Aspinall fearlessly enters the tiger compound, where he engages in playful interactions with Putra, a majestic mother tiger who has recently given birth to three adorable cubs. The father of these little ones, Thelum, watches attentively as John romps around with his family. The scene is filled with pure joy and friendship. It showcases the remarkable connection that can exist between humans and animals when nurtured with love and respect. This snapshot captures a moment of trust and understanding shared between two different species. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of the power of compassion and how it transcends boundaries. It serves as a testament to John Aspinall's dedication as a zookeeper - going above and beyond his duties by forging deep connections with these magnificent big cats. This image encapsulates the essence of what zoos should strive for: creating environments where animals can thrive while fostering meaningful relationships between caretakers like John Aspinall and their charges.
