EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical and amusing illustration by John Hassall, titled "Visitors thrusting their hands through the rails are advised to see that they get them back" we are transported to a lively zoo scene. The vibrant colour litho print captures the essence of a day at the zoo, filled with laughter, excitement, and unexpected encounters. The image depicts a group of curious visitors leaning over the rails of an animal enclosure. A mischievous boy can be seen thrusting his hand through the bars towards a she-wolf on the other side. With a playful warning sign nearby, it seems as though this is not an uncommon occurrence in these zoological gardens. The humor lies in the reactions of both humans and animals alike. The boy's face shows surprise mixed with delight as he interacts with the wildlife before him. Onlookers around him react with amusement or concern for his safety, while one child even sheds tears at what could be perceived as danger. Hassall's attention to detail is evident throughout; from each individual's facial expressions to small touches like an umbrella held by one visitor. This charming artwork perfectly captures the entertaining chaos that can unfold when humans and animals come together in such close proximity. "Visitors thrusting their hands through the rails are advised to see that they get them back" serves as a reminder that sometimes our curiosity can lead us into unpredictable situations but also provides us with moments of joyous connection with nature's wonders within our reach.
