Mrs. Martin Johnson
Posted By thecircusblog on April 13, 2009
When I was a kid in the early 1950’s, there were these fantastic movies on TV about the animal kingdom. This lady Osa and her husband Martin went to Africa, Borneo and South America where they photographed wild animals. I am sure these pictures were never seen before by anyone. Osa and Martin were not circus people but what they did was to bring numerous different types of animals into the front rooms of many homes. The television audience then wanted to see more and see it in person. It helped bring more people to the circuses and the zoos but more over gave people a better understanding of wild animals.
