EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to June 1951 where Buck Jones, the dedicated zookeeper, is seen meticulously measuring Diksie the elephant's enormous ears. The image captures a moment of both curiosity and humor as Buck stands on a wooden crate, armed with a tape measure in one hand and a mischievous grin on his face. The sheer size of Diksie's ears is truly awe-inspiring - they seem almost larger than life! As Buck carefully stretches the tape across one earlobe to another, it becomes evident that this task requires not only precision but also an incredible amount of trust between man and animal. One can't help but wonder what purpose such measurements serve; perhaps it is part of an ongoing study or simply a routine check-up for Diksie's well-being. The setting exudes nostalgia with its vintage charm - reminiscent of simpler times when zoos were places filled with wonderment and discovery. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with animals and our desire to understand them better. This photograph perfectly encapsulates the bond between humans and animals while showcasing the dedication required by those who care for them. It reminds us that even in mundane tasks like measuring an elephant's ears, there can be moments of joy, laughter, and connection that transcend time.
