EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a momentous event in British history - the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to Edinburgh Zoo in 1934. The image showcases a delightful parade of penguins, seemingly aware of the royal presence, as they march in perfect formation. The regal couple stands under an umbrella, observing the entertaining spectacle with evident delight. The scene is filled with a sense of grandeur and charm, reflecting the monarchy's connection to nature and their love for all creatures great and small. The Scottish backdrop adds an extra layer of significance, highlighting the strong bond between royalty and country. The monochrome aesthetic enhances the timeless quality of this snapshot from the past century. It serves as a reminder that even amidst global events such as World War II looming on the horizon, moments of joy and lightheartedness could still be found. This print by F. G. H Salusbury is not just a visual record but also a testament to the enduring fascination people have with both animals and royalty. It transports us back to an era when kings and queens were revered figures who captivated public imagination. Overall, this photograph encapsulates both historical importance and simple pleasures - showcasing how even something as ordinary as penguins can become extraordinary when viewed through the lens of royal visitation.
