EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful and heartwarming print captured in July 1979, we witness an extraordinary bond between Blackpool Zoo keeper Mike Clarkson and the majestic gorilla named Kumba. As they sit side by side, engrossed in a shared activity, it becomes evident that their connection transcends species boundaries. With a mischievous twinkle in his eyes, Kumba appears to be genuinely engrossed in reading the newspaper alongside his human companion. The image exudes an air of comic charm as these unlikely friends partake in a moment of leisurely relaxation together. It is impossible not to smile at the sight of this adorable duo engaging in such an unexpected pastime. The photograph transports us back to the vibrant era of the 1970s, with its vintage aesthetics adding a touch of nostalgia. Alf Markey's expert lens perfectly captures every detail - from Mike's genuine affection for his primate friend to Kumba's gentle demeanor. This snapshot reminds us that even amidst our busy lives, there are moments worth cherishing when different worlds collide harmoniously. It serves as a powerful testament to the profound connections that can form between humans and animals when treated with love and respect. Alf Markey has masterfully immortalized this endearing encounter through Memory Lane Prints, allowing us all to relish in the joyous innocence radiating from this remarkable friendship between man and gorilla.
