Trevor: Ceylon--The Jungle


Figure 1.-- The jungle was very close to us. While not advancing the cause of historical boys clothing very far, the photo does show me investigating the natural world. I don't look too happy about it! The leopard was on a chain and was very definitely alive! I do not know the story behind this photograph, but I'm sure Kipling's "Jungle Book" meant more to me than most English boys. But given the heat, this is how I commonly dressed while at home.
