EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken circa 1930 by the talented Herbert Felton, we are transported back in time to witness a heartwarming encounter between a sailor and an unexpected mascot. The image showcases the Ship Kangaroo, affectionately known as Tasie, who served as the beloved mascot of the cruiser Memphis during its heyday. As our eyes wander across the landscape format of this photograph, we see Tasie standing proudly on what appears to be a ship's deck. With his strong male presence and endearing charm, he captures our attention immediately. However, it is his interaction with one particular sailor that truly steals the show. Tasie seems to shy away from the sailor's outstretched hand in a playful manner. This delightful moment perfectly encapsulates their unique bond - one that transcends species boundaries and highlights animal roles within naval life. It is clear that despite their differences in appearance and nature, both man and marsupial share an unspoken connection forged through their shared experiences at sea. Herbert Felton's masterful composition not only captures this fleeting instant but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when such mascots were cherished companions aboard ships like Memphis. Through his lens, Felton immortalizes this extraordinary relationship for generations to come. This remarkable print from Fine Art Storehouse serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's ability to form deep connections with animals even amidst challenging circumstances - reminding us all of the enduring power of friendship
