Vintage London Zoo--1953

Elephant from London Zoo being measured for a Coronation coat. Does anyone have, or know of any pictures of the elephant wearing it's "Coronation coat"?

There is one candidate to be this elephant,Lakshmi,arrived in 1953.I will try to dig up where she came from.She stayed until 1980 and then went to Rotterdam and died there in 1981.We have a howdah that belonged to her and I can get a pic of it.
Cheers
