“My Grandmother Winifred Hughes flanked by my Aunts Winnie & Cecilia,on a day trip to Dublin from their hometown Dundalk,dated on back 28 Oct 1939.On a similar theme my late Mother had her photo taken holding two lion cubs while on a visit to Dublin Zoo late ’40’s early 50’s by a similar gentleman to Arthur.When she received the photo it was of someone else entirely,and she would recount her disappointment every time a lion would appear on her favourite nature program.It is a photo I would dearly love to have,but alas almost certainly no longer exists.”

(1939)
