A 4x5 transparency shows two elephants and seven gulls in a cement walled paddock on the left. Two women in dresses with backs to the camera stroll towards the paddock. Stopped in front of the enclosure is a vehicular train; the leading car is clad in mauve plastic or fibreglas with the front formed in the shape of a smiling elephant's head with raised trunk. A pith-helmeted man is seated with a hand on the sterering wheel. A second man stands between the train and the elephants; he has left his pith helmet on the "hood." Hooked behind the lead vehicle are three thatch-roofed passenger wagons with bamboo siding full of adults and children. Beyond the train, many pedestrians are visible on the walkway. Pigeons are seen in the right foreground. Handwritten on the envelope: Elephant Train, SF Zoo
