EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a rainy day in London Zoo during the 1950s. The focal point of the image is none other than Percy, the majestic pelican, who stands tall amidst the wet weather scenes. His feathers glisten with raindrops as he gazes into the distance, seemingly unaffected by the downpour. The photographer skillfully captures both the beauty and resilience of nature in this snapshot. Despite being surrounded by gloomy skies and puddles, there is an undeniable charm to Percy's presence. His stoic posture exudes grace and strength, reminding us that even in adverse conditions, life goes on. The date inscribed on this print - March 15th, 1951 - serves as a reminder of how long ago this moment was frozen in time. It transports us to an era when photography was still evolving but already capable of capturing such poignant moments. As we admire this photograph today, taken by staff member Reed on March 2nd, 1951 for Mirrorpix's collection at London Zoo (B1044/4), we are reminded of our connection with nature throughout history. This image encapsulates not only wet weather scenes but also nostalgia for simpler times when people sought solace in observing animals like Percy amidst rain-soaked landscapes. Memory Lane Prints allows us to relive these timeless moments through their carefully curated collection – a window into our past that continues to inspire awe and appreciation for both wildlife and artistry alike.
