On the left, Baron Walter Rothschild (banker, zoologist and collector) is trying to lure a giant tortoise from his possession forward with lettuce. The card was stamped in 1936 in Tallinn, but it is probably a bit older. This depiction was later adopted several times in an individual way, see other postcards (e.g. by Anita Jaram) or photos. On the right, Alfred Hitchcock (film director, screenwriter and film producer) is sitting in an Australian zoo, probably more for show, also on a giant tortoise (around 1960).
