Is there anywhere today where one can see a keeper attired in uniform with cap and tie, grooming an adult lion (big cat)? This is a wonderful photo of days gone by.

Paul,
Probably not, as the tie would have been a hell of a danger to the keeper. The lion look's to be a yearling/year and a half old male cub.
