In this print from August 1922, we are transported back to a time of eccentricity and fascination with exotic animals. The image showcases Miss Delhi, a woman known for her unconventional choices, as she fearlessly feeds her pet baby boa constrictor with bottles of milk. The monochrome tones add an air of mystery to the scene, highlighting the contrast between the delicate nature of feeding a snake and the potential danger it poses. Miss Delhi's bandaged arm suggests that there might have been previous encounters with her beloved reptile. This photograph captures a moment frozen in time during the vibrant era between the wars - the roaring twenties. It serves as a reminder of how people sought out unique experiences and embraced their individuality even amidst societal norms. As we delve into Europeana Photography's archives, we discover yet another intriguing glimpse into history. This remarkable image not only showcases an extraordinary bond between human and animal but also sparks our curiosity about Miss Delhi's story – who was she? What led her to choose such an unusual pet? Central News has once again provided us with an exceptional piece of visual storytelling that invites us to imagine what life was like in those bygone years. Let this photograph transport you back to a world where eccentricities were celebrated, reminding us that sometimes it is through embracing our quirks that we truly find ourselves.
