EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1979, we see Maureen the elephant, a beloved member of Robert Brothers circus, enjoying her temporary residence in Hyde Park during the Year of the Child celebrations. As part of her daily exercise routine, Maureen takes a leisurely stroll around the park and on this particular day, she found herself captivated by the vibrant discussions at Speakers Corner. Curiosity piqued, Maureen couldn't resist stopping to listen intently to what was being said. With her majestic presence and attentive demeanor, it almost seemed as if she understood every word spoken. Perhaps she wanted to join in on the lively debates or share her own thoughts with those gathered around. After indulging in some intellectual stimulation at Speakers Corner, Maureen decided to take advantage of modern technology and make a "Trunk Call". With grace and precision that only an elephant possesses, she effortlessly dialed up someone special using an old-fashioned telephone booth nearby. However, not all experiences were smooth sailing for our gentle giant. When Maureen attempted to board a bus for further exploration of London's wonders under the watchful eye of a skeptical conductress who deemed there wasn't enough room for such magnificence aboard public transport. This delightful snapshot captures both the whimsy and challenges faced by animals living amongst humans in bustling cities during that era. It serves as a reminder that even extraordinary creatures like Maureen can encounter everyday obstacles while trying to navigate our world with their unique charm and grace.
