Exceptionally rare original Young Zoologists’ Club members’ leaflet issued by The Zoolical Society of London for London Zoo and Whipsnade Park.

An outstanding surviving example of early London Zoo membership ephemera from the golden age of British zoology and wildlife broadcasting. These fragile promotional leaflets were never designed to survive and are now incredibly difficult to find, particularly in complete condition.

This earlier version is especially desirable as it references appearances and involvement from some of the most recognisable wildlife figures of the era including:

• David Attenborough
• Johnny Morris
• Desmond Morris
• Maxwell Knight
• James Fisher
• Peter Scott

The leaflet details club membership benefits including zoo access, lectures, guided tours, wildlife discussions, film shows and educational events for young zoology enthusiasts during the formative years of modern wildlife education in Britain.

A superb piece of London Zoo, broadcasting and conservation history with strong crossover appeal for collectors of:

• David Attenborough memorabilia
• London Zoo / ZSL material
• British wildlife broadcasting history
• Educational ephemera
• Natural history collections
• Mid-century paper memorabilia

Condition:
Good vintage condition overall with age-related wear and original filing punch holes as shown. Displays very well and remains structurally sound. A scarce survivor from a period when most examples were discarded.

An extremely rare and highly collectable piece of Zoological Society of London history.
