EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating moment in history, showcasing chest X-ray photographs of chimpanzees from the renowned Bertram Mills Circus. Taken at Olympia, London on the 11th of January 1954, these images were part of an extraordinary effort to aid doctors in preventing these beloved creatures from catching colds. In this snapshot, we witness the intersection of medical science and animal welfare as each chimp's unique facial expression is frozen in time. Their curious gazes seem to convey both intrigue and trust towards the vet behind this innovative procedure. The quirky nature of this photograph lies not only in its subject matter but also in the unexpected combination of elements it presents - animals, apes and monkeys, circus life, medical equipment - all captured within a single frame. It serves as a reminder that even amidst entertainment spectacles like circuses during the 1950s era, there were individuals who cared deeply about ensuring the well-being and health of their animal performers. George Greenwell skillfully encapsulates this remarkable moment through his lens; his talent shines through as he immortalizes an important chapter in veterinary history with precision and artistry. This print is not just a visual delight but also an intriguing piece that sparks curiosity about our relationship with animals and how we have strived to protect them throughout time.
