Specialist note

'Ever since I was a little boy I experienced feelings of wonder, love and even ecstasy sometimes when I watched a bird, an animal or a beautiful boy or girl - this is what I longed to share with people' (see D. Elliott, Boy with a Dolphin: The Life and Work of David Wynne, London, 2010, p. 176).
