EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on 20th March 1954 by Haywood Magee for Picture Post/Getty Images, we are transported back to a truly bizarre scene. The image showcases Nardoo, one of the many kangaroos adopted as family pets by an Australian family who now reside in Lincoln, England. The photograph captures Nardoo with her adorable offspring named Johnny, both comfortably settled in what appears to be the family's living room. This extraordinary sight challenges our perception of traditional domesticity and invites us into a world where kangaroos roam freely within the confines of an English home. The composition is strikingly beautiful; the contrast between light and shadow accentuates every detail of these remarkable creatures. With no people present in the frame, our attention is solely focused on these unique animals that have found their place amidst human life. This snapshot not only highlights the bond between humans and animals but also offers a glimpse into Australian culture transplanted thousands of miles away from its origins. It serves as a testament to pet adoption practices that transcend borders and challenge societal norms. Haywood Magee's masterful capture immortalizes this moment in time when Kangaroos Living in Lincoln became part of everyday life. As we gaze upon this archival piece from 1954, it sparks curiosity about how such unconventional companionship unfolded behind closed doors during an era marked by post-war transformations and cultural exchange.
