EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from 18 June 1947, we are transported back to a whimsical moment at the London Zoo. Meet Rajah, one of the young elephants who has become renowned for his outsize ears that seem perfectly attuned to music. His enchanting encounter with zookeeper W. Crompton and his trusty accordion is about to unfold. As Rajah stands majestically in Regents Park, surrounded by curious onlookers, he eagerly awaits the serenade that will awaken his soulful spirit. With each melodious note played by Crompton's accordion, an enthusiastic but slightly discordant response emerges from Rajah's trunk – a soul-stirring solo like no other.

The image exudes humor and charm as it immortalizes this unforgettable interaction between trumpeter elephant and accordionist keeper.

Let your imagination run wild as you witness Rajah's musical prowess through this monochrome masterpiece captured by TopFoto. co. uk – a timeless reminder that joy can be found in unexpected places when harmony fills the air.
