This photograph taken outside the London Zoological Society offices in 1914 shows one of the zoo's earliest forays into marketing.
Four zebras pull a cart advertising a brand of tea. Paying passengers were able to sit alongside the driver.

I always enjoy pictures of odd animal hitches, whether they be zebras, camels, elephants or anything else. Thank you for sharing.
I think these zebras were owned and trained by Baron Rothschild, who had the giraffe and the mynah bird as his namesakes. Sincerely Paul
That building is now the zoo library with meeting rooms.I have been told Sir David Attenborough reads in the library.I will send a recent pic to your email.
Cheers
Glenn
