SD Zoo #1 (From Eric Beheim)

SD%20Zoo-1, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. The following photos are from ANIMAL PORTRAITS FROM THE SAN DIEGO ZOO, a 1942 “pictorial glimpse into the lives of a few of those foreign visitors who have chosen for their permanent residence the semi-tropical surroundings of the San Diego Zoo.” Accompanying the photos are the original 1942 captions. [This first photo shows the Zoo’s main entrance & administrative office from the 1930s-early 1940s.]
